Reaves expressed his frustration dealing with the runs that the Nuggets went on during Game 1 and how the Lakers have to play near-perfect basketball in order to come out on top against arguably the best team in the league. “I mean, they’re super frustrating, obviously, especially against a team like them because you almost have to play a perfect game anyway because they don’t make mistakes,” Reaves said. “And when you kind of get them into say a 5-0, 7-0 run, they slow everything down and get exactly where they need and they know exactly what they’re gonna get, they’re gonna get an action that they’re very comfortable with, that they’re ran a million times. We just got to control the flip-flop of that. We got to control when they go on a 7-0 run, we got to do the same exact thing, get a possession that we know where we’re gonna get exactly on that possession to kind of deflate those runs because yeah, it’s frustrating how sound they are as a team.”
