The Denver Nuggets delivered a knockout blow to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the NBA Western Conference playoffs, winning 112-105 on Thursday. The Nuggets now lead the series 3-0 — a deficit no team in NBA history has ever overcome. 😮💨
Since the NBA adopted the best-of-seven playoff format, 151 teams have trailed 3-0. None clawed back. Four forced a Game 7… and lost anyway. Stats don’t lie: the Lakers are staring at a near-impossible challenge.
What stings more? The Lakers led for longer in all three games, often by double digits. But the Nuggets’ triple threat — Nikola Jokić’s dominance, Jamal Murray’s buzzer-beater in Game 2, and Aaron Gordon’s paint demolition — keeps rewriting the script. 🎬 Will LeBron & Co. make history… or become another footnote? Stay tuned for Game 4! 🍿
