Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will meettonightat 9:00 p.mET for Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals of the 2020 NBA playoffs. The Lakers have looked like the most dominant team in the league since the first round of the playoffs but we already know how much of a resilient team the Nuggets are, so anything can happen.

The Denver Nuggets proved once again that they’re one of the most hardnosed teams in recent history by coming back from a double-digit deficit and had the lead late in the fourth quarter vs. the Los Angeles Lakers.

However, Anthony Davis capped a stellar performance with a game-winning three-pointer to give the Lakers a 2-0 lead. He and Nikola Jokic led all scorers with 31 and 30 points, respectively, while LeBron James had 26 with 11 boards and 4 dimes.
