LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers have lost 12 straight games to the Denver Nuggets after blowing yet another big lead in the series.
The Lakers now find themselves in a 3-0 hole as they lost to the Nuggets on Thursday night, 112-105.
LeBron James and Anthony Davis did as much as they could to secure a much needed win, but they ultimately fell short. They didn’t receive much help from their teammates, especially starting point guard D’Angelo Russell, who scored zero points.
The NBA on TNT crew discussed the Laker’s loss following the game. Charles Barkley summed up the Lakers’ demeanor using just a few words.

“It’s like their spirits are broken. They were just going through the motions in the first half,” Barkley said regarding L.A.
The Lakers face a win-or-go-home situation on Saturday when they face the Nuggets for what could be their final game of the season.
