“Lakers vs Nuggets Game 2: Will Denver’s Home Court Advantage Prevail?”

This Game 2 between Lakers and Nuggets can already be decisive. Yes, it is Denis Brogniart who writes this paper (no) and who will ask a team to take up his torch at the end of the meeting. After this second game (2:30), we will know if Los Angeles will have additional work at home or if Denver will still maintain its invincibility at home in these Playoffs 2023.

The Ball Arena this season is a real fortress defended by a great Serb and his small army, ready to defend their country at all costs. For this, Jokic released a simply record-breaking performance in Game 1, as he became the only player in history to achieve multiple triple-doubles over 30 points and 20 rebounds and 10 assists in the Playoffs.

At his side, Jamal Murray once again exceeds the 30-point mark, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hurt the Lakers by hitting his former team with 21 points. The Nuggets will have to achieve once again a perfect game at home to leave for LA with peace of mind. They will be aided by a Ball Arena audience who play their part as the sixth man every time. All this despite the fact that the first ticket price for this Game 2 is the highest since the start of these Playoffs.

The cheapest ticket for each team’s next home game:

Boston $170
Miami $190
Denver $215
Lakers $450

The Lakers would be good to end the chicken nuggets supremacy at home. After waking up too late in the first game, Los Angeles will have to put the locks down as quickly as possible, so as not to let Jokic’s talent settle in the perimeter. On this first game, Dennis Schroder and D’Angelo Russell were too invisible compared to the exceptional performance of AD and the King. Austin Reaves will also have to show that he deserves his eight-figure contract, and Rui Hachimura will have to remain in the role of second knife and essential X factor. Los Angeles will have to fight as a team to hope to defeat the Nuggets.

A match that smells of powder, a confrontation that smells of basketball and a poster that will push the two teams to their finest limits. To see the outcome, go to 2:30 for this already decisive Game 2.
