The Los Angeles Lakers, behind 2-0 in their first-round series with the Denver Nuggets, are returning home.
Despite leading by as many as 20 points in Game 2, the Lakers were unable to hold on as a Jamal Murray buzzer-beater ended their hopes of tying the series.
LeBron accomplished a little of everything on Monday night, finishing with 26 points
eight rebounds, 12 assists, two steals, and two blocks, but it wasn't enough as the Nuggets outperformed the Lakers down the line and won.
Now faced with the enormous goal of defeating the Nuggets four times in five games
James is simply taking it one game at a time and focused on the Lakers protecting their home court, like Denver recently did.
"Protect your home. "That's where my mindset goes," LeBron said after a painful Game 2 loss. "
Obviously, the only game that matters right now is Game 3, and how we can improve and figure out this team. So Game 3 is where my mind is.
