Summary:
The Denver Nuggets have finally overcome their 24-year drought against the Lakers in the playoffs during Thursday night's game 2of their series. The Nuggets coach, George Karl, believes it will be a long series, and believes that his team is a much smarter, and mentally tougher team. Both leaders of each team (Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant) scored an abundance of points for their team. But still the Nuggets leave with the big “W” at the Lakers' turf. But now in game 3, we go to Denver, and Kobe says, “we are not the best road team in the NBA for no reason”.
Analysis:
This article was interesting because of its importance to basketball. The NBA Playoffs is like getting ready for the Super Bowl; it gets intense and brutal and amazing. NBA athletes play their hardest in the Playoffs. The best part about this article is the ongoing rivalry that seems to take place among the teams. It seems that this win against the Lakers shows a significant defiance, almost like saying “we will not go down without a fight”, and that’s what makes it so appealing as an article.
