Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Highlights | February 8, 2024 | FreeDawkins 

Gordon is a beast. This guys athletic is insane, he carried this game energywise

A championship level game. Honestly the Nuggets is the better one.

Remember after game 1 when coach Ham said they figured something out 6 games later we still don’t know what they figured out

Murray is the definition of clutch

They need to treat Murray like Curry. Single coverage at last 3 minutes didn’t help

I know Jokic is the no 1 problem and all but if they don't take Murray seriously Lakers is just going to repeat their mistake again. Gordon & Porter can cause problems but Murray is lowkey the biggest offensive threat.

A lot of Lakers fans were shitting on Austin Reaves for that final play where he gambled and lost on that steal. But if you watch that play again and pause to notice the nuance, you'll see it wasn't a bad attempt at all. That was just an unbelievable 3D chess move by Jokic. Here's why: Dude had 6 turnovers this game. Not Jokic's best in terms of ball security. One thing that worked multiple times throughout this game was sending a double when Jokic wasn't looking. Led to a couple of turnovers. But if you pause right before the attempted steal, you'll see Jokic isn't looking at Reaves at all... in fact he doesn't even seem to know he was there (but he in fact did). Knowing that the Lakers tried this sort of double team multiple times earlier in the game (again, successfully), he pretended not to notice Reaves, intentionally let him get as close as possible before a steal was possible, then super quickly pivoting the basketball above his head. Oh, and all in the same motion, he immediately looks at an open Porter in the corner (knew exactly where to look right away), and dimes him up for the most open 3 of the game. Check. Fucking. Mate.

Don't worry. Lakers have figured them out by putting Reaves on Jokic 🤷‍♂️

Free throws: Lakers - 16/22 Nuggets - 6/7

nice seeing Murray putting in the work after another all start snub against a team that got 2.

FreeDawkins ,thank you for including the Kobe Bryant tribute and game intro in the opening! It was great seeing all the "legends" in LA. 😊

8 point lead from Denver (114-106) for Kobe Bryant's Old Jersey Number (#8) Jokic scored 24 points for Kobe's current jersey number (#24) Hachimura scored 2 points for Gigi Lebron's 5 missed shots in the 4th quarter for Kobe's 5 rings What a TRIBUTE!!

The nuggets only needed a minute of focus to dispatch the Lakers. The mark of a really great team

Gordon dunks on everyone!

Jokic scores 24: For Kobe Nuggets win game by 8: For Kobe!!! LETS GO NUGGETS!!!!💪😤🥶⚒️🏔️ 🏀

Jok passes are amazing

Even the Refs couldnt bail them out

The moment you realize Jokic got 24-8.

Jokic troll game and he still ends up with 24 13 8 lmao

I'm impressed by Jokic' defense this game. 3 blocks baby.

7 consecutive wins against the lakers ... yeah good luck lakers

Despite the lost, AD played really well!

GOD LEVEL TIMING!! HOW DID HE KNOW REAVES WAS CHASING HIM FROM BEHIND?! 9:15

Just watched Hoop Reports latest video. And man, this ft disparity whoever face lakers is something else

Ask a neutral fan watching this game, I watched the first whole half and then had to come back later to watch highlights but if you get a chance to watch the first 5 minutes, it was some of the most entertaining basketball i've seen for a while. It had everything, tought 3s, multiple steals, multiple blocks, multiple fast breaks and more.

Don't tell me Nuggets is a 3-point chucking, perimeter-only, no-drive team to justify that bs free throw disparity at the end.

Just look at the number of freethrows the nba gives the lakers every game 😂 the only time they win is if they actually win a rig game 💀

Jokic is crazy! I really think AD plays the best defense on him and he stills makes those tough @ss shots over him!

Nuggets win in spite of the massive FT disparity. Great win Champs!

Porter was the unsung hero this time. Wow, can he ball!!

Nuggets have 7 v.s. 22 FT to Lakers and won the game is crazy

9:36 That's an offensive foul that LeMock always does against defensive players, normally weaker ones than him. Also, the refs did all they could to allow Pestkers to win tonight.

Refs didnt give them enough FTs haha

22 vs 7 free throw, The refs didn't save the Lakers today, the ref should do it 30 free throw to make the win for lakers

Muuray is a nba all star

Lebron: with that last turn over: and not willing to run back the court: that lost the game

Its safe to say that jokic a pass 👑🔥

NBA already trying to hide the fact that Bron wasnt even at the Kobe statue ceremony, but Ham Reeves and Rui were 😕. I wasnt surprised. He didnt even go to his "best friend" HOF ceremony.

9:16 Jokic Wow Wow Wow

Nuggets won the 5v8. Truly Lakers daddy right now.

First time I saw MPJ pass A lob pass

Ball arena was moved to California now

i miss you kobe

Kevin Harlan is the best commentator in American sport

38 mins of game and Rui had 2 PTS is crazy

Nuggets with only 7 free throw attempts what a joke. Refs doing everything they can to get LA to win

Amazing play by both teams. Entertaining to watch till the end. Tnx4sharing. Congrats Denver for winning this important match-up.

Seems like the refs try and help the Lakers every night with the disproportionate foul calls. They tried this game as well but to no avail.

Well, LeBron did it again against Denver, just as he did in all 4 conference finals losses - he faded in the fourth. 2-8 with a crucial turnover dribbling off his own knee.

The refs kept the Lakers in this game, they were not calling any fouls for the Nuggets.

Free throw attempts: Lakers = 22 Nuggets = 7 🤨

ain't nobody beating the nuggets in Playoff.. back to back champss

The referee tried their best to help Lakers, but still cannot win LMAO

Only started flowing nba last year im a big arsenal fan so its only right i support denver nuggets what a play jokic and murray is 😮

Don't ever wear the Black Mamba Jersey if you can't secure a win for Kobe

Jokic is indeed the Lakers' daddy :D :D

The refs tried so hard to give the win to Los Angeles Freethrowers in Kobe's statue day. 🤣

Jokic doesnt take lebron and Ad seriously at all 😂😂😂😂

Who knew a canadian would dominate the league damn murray is nice...

Thank you free Dawkins ❤❤

9:35: You have to acknowledge that Lebron is still stat chasing despite his age.

What a tremendous display of gameplay from both the teams, specially Nuggets. Let's Go Nuggets 🥳

look at all the free throws the refs gave he lakers and they still couldn’t win. Such a biased league. Refs are just trying to keep the games close so Lebaby is still in close games where I. Reality he’s a defense liability at this point.

Murray love tape always disappoints

Jokic 24,13 ,9, 3 Blocks

It really seems like the NBA officials truly has a contract with LeNodefense. The number of free throws being awarded to Lakers are just something else man.

09:14 dang jokic what a goat, in an instant he knew porter jr wide open once reaves tried to steal him

Jokić had 10 assists not 9!! He was literally robbed for a triple double!!!

Nuggets are gonna win another chip this year, they're a solid team basically unchanged from last year.

Coach Malone was right about lakers narative. Theres no news how Nuggets won game. Bleachers report is amazing, only u can see there is how leflop hits murrays head with ball, wtf. Why no news about that how lakers lost game? Sad

AD was the only one who played with Mamba mentality. The Lakers have been out rebounded all game (50 to 39), they couldn’t make a 3PT (43.8% to only 32%) How can Ham say this an A+ performance 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Same as the playoffs: Denver beats LA, the refs and Skelator. Celebrate Kobe day with your daddy

Lessgo, Denver! Also I saw a fan holding up an MPJ banner behind Denver’s bench. That's cute.

Reffs forgot who was the home team …. Only 10 faults the hole game ….please 👏🏻

The refs are doing their best to keep the Lakers in the playoffs.😅😅😅

Only if Rui Hachimura could score more than 2

Hachimura and Wood combined for 5 points ... is D-Lo injured !? He is so vital to Lakers offense !

It might be just a gut feeling but the Lakers look better against good teams than bad teams.

Murray’s ig story is a sequel❤

Pros the Nuggets for the win, but yet again a ft discretion to the lakers with 22 to 7

Reaves - not so smart player. He thought Jokic doesn't see him coming. As baited him to come off his man and then passed to the shooter.

Close game, lakers were sloppy with their rebounding and couldn’t close the close games like usual but overall very good game from both teams!

I can see lakers has a Murray problem not Jokic, Someone needs to lockup defense on Murray as Jamal was killing them.

It's just sad to see that my Lakers Team will never Beat Denver,.. The Nuggets are just so so much a Super team right now for Lakers to beat.

honestly Nuggets gonna build a dynasty with these 4 players : Jokic, Murray, Gordon, Porter.

Lakers always have 15-25 more FT than the opponent. I saw so many fouls on Nuggets but no whistle at all. Congrats on Nuggets of beating the corrupted referees again.

What was AR thinking about?? Played right into Jokic hands. 😂😂

Jokic had only 24/13/9 shooting less than 50%. What a terrible game by him!

Le queen bout to set his phone to walk out Mode 😂😂😂

Much better game than I thought it would be

Felt like a damn playoff game. Props to the Lakers for keeping it close.

Let’s go Denver🎉🎉❤

Now we can put it to rest, Murray is clearly the X-factor

The first half both teams was shooting lights out I think next NBA season will be one of the best seasons you got a lot of good young talent right now in college basketball some straight up ballers so I can't wait to see the off season moves and the draft

Lebron flat out choked. What a poetic day to do it on.

a loss even with the referees help. 7-22 i see a player Going On Another Team again nxt season.🤣🤣🤣🤣

AR should have the ball on the clutch moment. that guy is cold

The refs were trying to give this one to the lakers, but the Denver Daddies grounded them as usual 🤣🤣

Murray is the key of denver when interms of lakers

Love to see LeMao flexing,and losing. THE TEARSSSS
