LA's starting shooting guard weighs in on the team's underwhelming Game 3 defeat.
After starting the 2023-24 NBA season with high hopes thanks to a surprise run to the Western Conference Finals last spring, the Los Angeles Lakers find themselves on the brink of going fishing in just the first round. The one caveat: the team that leads them 3-0 in their current first round series is also the one that swept them out of the Western Conference Finals last year en route to a title, the Denver Nuggets .
LA's 112-105 Game 3 loss to the Nuggets Thursday was highlighted by the club's struggles to get much cooking from a scoring perspective. The club went just 5-of-27 from beyond the arc, for a paltry 18.5% conversion rate. Denver actually shot worse, going 5-of-28 from deep , but the jumbo-sized Nuggets more than made up for that with some exquisite interior play and midrange takes.
A team that really had seen itself firing on all cylinders since All-Star weekend, Los Angeles suddenly finds itself averaging a scant 102.3 points across its three contests in the series so far.“It’s super frustrating,” Reaves said. “After the trade deadline, even a little before that, our offense was clicking on all cylinders… Obviously, our offense wasn’t very good tonight.”
He enjoyed a good individual game, at least. Reaves was one of just three Lakers to score in double digits , notching 22 points on 8-of-17 shooting from the floor and 4-of-4 shooting from the charity stripe.LeBron James Had Epic Gift for Duquesne Basketball Team Ahead of NCAA Tournament
