Film Study: How the Nuggets and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope downed the Lakers in Game 1
Caldwell-Pope accounted for four of Denver's nine second-half made threes, and all of them occurred in the third quarter. That's when the Nuggets really broke the game open and outscored the Lakers, 32-18, in the period. This allowed Denver to enter the fourth quarter with a 10-point lead... an advantage they maintained up until the final buzzer.
