The Lakers discuss their upcoming conference finals series vs. No. 1 Denver and two-time MVP Nikola Jokic. 'We’re going in with the utmost respect.'
Friday night and there was joy inside L.A.’s locker room and universe at Crypto.com Arena.
Here the Lakers and Nuggets are again, set to meet again with a chance to reach the NBA Finals on the line. While the Lakers were trying to find their footing, the Nuggets were rolling along. They posted the best record in the Western Conference at 53-29. “So, tomorrow is a day for us to kind of get away from the game a little bit. Just kind of chill with our families and kind of recoup a little bit. But Sunday and Monday and then part of Tuesday before the game starts, we will lock in on what we need to do to try to be at our best versus a very good — a very, very good — and well-coached team. But I look forward to it when it gets here.”
