In the last match between Nuggets and Lakers, Darvin Ham found ways to try to stop Nikola Jokic, but they only worked when the match was decided. The main one was the entry of Rui Hachimura to stay in the Serbian ace’s marking. The continuity of this change made during game one should happen, and Michael Malone has already predicted departures for this defensive scheme of Los Angeles rivals.

“There’s this kind of discussion based on that, even though the Lakers lost, they’re getting out of here, they think they’ve achieved something. I’ll bet every penny I have that Darvin Ham would rather be up 1-0 than down 0-1. So to be able to watch the replay after a win and show all the things we’ve done is a great place to be.“, he completed.

Darvin Ham relies on Lakers comeback!

We’ll be fine. Trust in me“, said the Lakers coach shortly after the loss to the Nuggets.
