Denver hasn't played badly, but Los Angeles' stars have come to play and put the Nuggets in a 2-0 hole. Can Denver stay in the series in Game 3?
The Nuggets are trying, guys. They really are. Since a brutal first quarter in Game 1, the Lakers have only outscored Denver by a grand total of six points.
But LA is kind of playing well right now. Andrew Bynum stole the spotlight with his triple-double in Game 1 and then kept it going strong with a 27-point outing in Game 2. And Kobe Bryant - you might have heard of him - has put up 30 in each game. It's not the Nugs' fault that they're down 2-0, but they're going to need to keep playing at their current level and also hope that Los Angeles cools off a little bit to win a game at this point.
