Last night Denver came out on a mission knowing this could be the biggest game in their team's history. Denver has never been to the finals and having game 1 and 3 in their grasp and handing it over to LA by bad plays at the end of the games gave the Lakers a 2-1 series lead going into this game.
But last night Denver knew they needed this win at home and came out on fire and after the Lakers got a 1-0 lead, that would be the only lead they would ever have all night. Denver held a 6-10 point lead through the first half with C. Billups(24 points) and C. Anthony (15) doing their things and got big performances by K. Martin (13points, 15rebounds), NeNe(14 points, 13 rebounds), C. Anderson "the Bird Man" (off bench 6 points, 14 rebounds) and JR Smith (also off bench 24 points, 2 reb), my player of the game!!!!!!! The lead would just get bigger and the bench play plus the play of the starters just took LA out of the game. Denver had great rebounding (out rebounding LA by 18) and fought for this from the start, especially the defense on all the Lakers and Kobe!!! Since Kobe can be a game changer, Defense is what you need and Denver was able to do that and shut him down.
The way I have seen this series is eithier Kobe (who did score 34 but not enough) wins it for the Lakers or the teamwork of the Nuggets wins it for Denver!! Last night Denver dominated both ends and just played with more heart which you can tell by the final score 120-101, a blow out!!! I would love to see Denver vs Orlando in the finals because I believe coming into these NBA Confernce Finals both Kobe and Labron act like they already are in the Finals, when the teamwork of Orlando who I wish was the Celtics (should be) and Denver can beat individuals, unlike what everyone seems to think. (Denver showed that last night and Orlando did the night before) Well we have a tied series here with LA and Denver now 2-2 headed back to LA on Wednsday night and Orlando up 2-1 with game 4 in Orlando tonight. So let's see what happens next. C'nation still bleeding green rooting for the underdogs.
