Markieff Morris: Lakers Mindful Of ‘Not Letting Up’ Against Nuggets

The Los Angeles Lakers made quite a statement with a dominant win over the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.

With the victory, the Lakers managed to break their habit of losing the opening game of each playoff series. The timing could not be any better considering the Nuggets had been playing some of their best basketball of the season after Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray sparked an impressive comeback over the L.A. Clippers in the second round.

Although it was not the matchup most predicted, the Lakers are not taking any team for granted at this point in the season.
