A former Los Angeles Laker believes the series against the Denver Nuggets was closer than the final series record indicated.
after Monday's 108-106 Game 5 loss to the Denver Nuggets . The Lakers did not get swept by the Nuggets this time, but were still handily defeated as they lost the series 4-1. This marks the second consecutive season in which the Lakers have been eliminated from the playoffs by the Nuggets as Denver has continued to be the Lakers ' kryptonite over the last couple of seasons.
Basketball Hall of Famer and former Laker Pau Gasol, who helped the Lakers win two NBA championships, believes the series was closer than the final 4-1 record suggests."This playoff round has been a lot closer than the 4-1 result. The Lakers played their hearts out and gave themselves a chance in every game. Proud of our team,"While the final record turned out lopsided, the Lakers were certainly in.
Still, the series being closer than its result is barely a constellation or silver lining. At the end of the day, the Lakers are out of the playoffs and have no shot at contending for a championship until next season. The Lakers were unable to close out games during this series, resulting in 'closer' losses.All Lakers Playoff Seeding Guide: Who Fans Should Root For On Thursday?
