Initial observations from the Denver Nuggets’ thrilling win over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 1 of the 2023 Western Conference Finals.
Insistent on making excuses for the Lakers, the ESPN broadcast crooned throughout the first half about how the altitude must be getting to Los Angeles. Or maybe consider this: The Nuggets are the better team, the faster team and certainly the advantageous team when they’re controlling the glass. They started the series with a 19-3 rebounding lead that stretched to 37-17 by halftime.
The Nuggets’ transition chemistry is elite… when they give themselves a chance to show it off.Pro tip for facing the Nuggets: Don’t get run out of the gym while Jokic is on the bench. The Lakers needed to burn a timeout to stop the bleeding with 10:12 remaining in the second quarter, down 44-27 with Jokic in the middle of a cozy rest spanning back to the one-minute mark of the first. Bruce Brown’s bullish transition game was the primary author behind the second unit run.
