Denver is 3-1 behind for the third time in the 2019/20 playoffs.
The Lakers won 108: 114 tonight in the fourth game of the series, much thanks to 25 points on a second chance.
Nuggets star Nikola Jokic and coach Michael Malone addressed the matter at the end of the game.
"We agree our problem was on the rebound. We gave them too many more chances to score," concluded the Joker, who scored 16 points tonight alongside 7 rebounds and 4 assists.
The Lakers did not lose the advantage they took in the first quarter, although the difference did not grow too much and the Nuggets remained close throughout the game.
The points after the offensive rebound were definitely the key to that.
"We did a bad job in that area tonight," Malone said, "they were more physical and more aggressive. That's one of the main reasons we lost."
Another issue that came up after the game was the free throws.
The Lakers threw 35 times during the game, while Denver reached the line only 23. "I think I'll have to go through the usual pipes to see if we can get a little more free throws like them," Malone said. "We'll watch the video and turn to the NBA to make sure our message got through." .

The person who held Denver in the picture was Jamal Marie.
The Canadian scored 32 points and handed out 8 assists, and was responsible for some spectacular moves, which earned him a comparison to Michael Jordan.
Still, even though he got to the line 8 times, Marie was frustrated by the judgment.
"In a few moves they committed offenses that did not burn," he said at the end.
