The Lakers lost Game 3 at home on Saturday night, leaving them with a 0-3 series deficit, which could be better for an NBA club. However, LeBron James and the Lakers are eager to remind us that the odds were stacked against them the whole season, from their 2-12 start to when they were the No. 13 seed on February 25. Nevertheless, here they are in the Western Conference Finals. So they’re saying there’s a chance.
“Our backs have been against the wall… probably the last two months. Maybe more than that.” “We can either come out Monday and go home or fight for another day… With the group of guys, we got, I know what the answer will be.”

, “Just gotta get one.” “One at a time. So focus on Game 4. That’s all you can really think about. I mean, obviously, this game is over and done with. We had some opportunities, but we didn’t come through. Just get ready for Monday. I gotta get one. One-game series for us. Every game counts, obviously.”
LeBron James said after Game 3.
In various sports, there have been comebacks from 0-3 down. It has happened four times in the NHL, most recently in 2014 when the Los Angeles Kings—playing in the same arena as the Lakers—did it against the San Jose Sharks on their way to winning the Stanley Cup. The Red Sox are renowned for doing it to the Yankees in the 2004 MLB American League Championship.
Coach Darvin Ham was questioned about whether the Lakers could overcome a 3-0 deficit. And Ham replied, “Absolutely.” “I mean, I think the deficit is 3-0, not four. So as long as they have not gotten to four yet, there’s still hope. We’re still alive. We just have to focus on winning one game.”
The Lakers have an arduous task, but winning one game is the first step.
Starting with how to slow Jamal Murray, the Lakers have a lot of things to address if they want to create history. Nikola Joki, a two-time MVP, is on the Nuggets, but more crucially, in this game, their depth in shooting is taxing the Lakers’ typically tenacious defense. Besides entirely abandoning D’Angelo Russell, Ham has made a lot of tweaks, and the Nuggets have responded to each one.
