If only Darvin Ham played the right combo of Christian Wood, Taurean Prince, Spencer Dinwiddie and Rui Hachimura and D’Angelo Russell at the right times, while calling more timeouts, the Lakers would be championship bound instead of swept in the first round. I’m a Lakers fan. – 8:16 AM

You knew the Lakers weren’t a serious team when they didn’t trade D’Angelo Russell at the deadline – 12:47 AM

I think it’s a big storyline for the Lakers that D’Angelo Russell scored zero points tonight. I wonder how they’re going to manage that and try to get such a great scorer going again. pic.twitter.com/4h3fIAQiZf – 12:43 AM

Final: Nuggets 112, Lakers 105
The Lakers’ season is effectively over. Denver has taken a commanding 3-0 lead and won 11 straight. AD had 33 points and 15 rebounds. LeBron had 26/6/9. AR had 22. DLo went 0-7 and was benched down the stretch.
Up next: Game 4 on Saturday. – 12:39 AM

3-2 NBA night coming but gonna drop this $2 play. D’Angelo Russell with another no-show, scoring as many points as you and me. Lakers an atrocious 3-for-21 from 3-point range at home. Awful. – 12:23 AM

Denver is within four, 47-43, with 2:43 left in the first half. Timeout LA. A bad turnover and then missed 3 for DLo (0 for 4 tonight overall), who’s been struggling. Denver has outscored LA 20-14 in the second. – 11:08 PM

More on this storyline
Asked if the Lakers were overwhelmed by the Nuggets’ level of execution, James said, “You’d have to ask the individuals that question and see how they feel. It’s hard for me just to be like, ‘This is what I think that guy feels.’ … I can’t do that. I’m not a mind reader. I don’t know.” No one was able to ask Lakers point guard D’Angelo Russell that question. After going scoreless in Game 3 on 0-for-7 shooting (0-for-6 from 3), he declined to speak to reporters after the game, according to a team spokesperson. “We’ve been — me and this guy [Davis] have been playing together for six years,” James continued. “We’ve been to the mountaintop. We’ve been close to the mountaintop. We’ve played a lot of games. We know what it takes to win. We know what it takes to win a championship and how damn near perfect you got to be. That’s not like something that’s so crazy to obtain.” -via ESPN / April 26, 2024
Ryan Ward: Darvin Ham on D’Angelo Russell’s performance (0-7, zero points): “It’s unfortunate, man. He had some good looks that he just didn’t knock down. It’s as simple as that. Similar to Game 1. He was able to bounce back in Game 2, and I expect him to bounce back in Game 4.” -via Twitter @RyanWardLA / April 26, 2024
Dave McMenamin: Boos coming down after D’Angelo Russell misses a 3 with the Lakers down 101-89. He’s 0-for-7 for the game. -via Twitter @mcten / April 26, 2024
