Despite a spirited comeback effort from the Denver Nuggets in the fourth quarter, the Los Angeles Lakers were able to win Game 2 of the Western Conference Finals on Sunday thanks to a buzzer-beating 3-point shot by Anthony Davis.
Unlike last game, the Lakers didn’t look like they were in complete control in the first half despite their 10-point lead at the half. However, they were still able to outplay the Nuggets because of an aggressive and efficient first half from LeBron James.
In the first half, James scored 20 points on on 72% shooting from the field, including 75% shooting from behind the arc.
