John Ireland reported Tuesday afternoon on his radio show with Steve Mason some of the Lakers were upset with 7-foot backup center DJ Mbenga after the game for not seeking a payback on Jones when he had the chance late in Game 4. Told of Jackson’s comments about the play, he added, “Just playing hard. Jones told reporters he didn’t “remember the play exactly, but I know we were out there on defense and things happen.” Bryant also called it “good defense” on the part of Jones, who has shadowed him during the series. The Lakers drew one technical foul, on Luke Walton, and the Nuggets had three – all four of the technicals coming as Denver pulled away in the fourth quarter.īryant gave a few sarcastic answers when asked about the play immediately after the game, calling himself a “klutz” for tumbling face-first into the paint.
LAKERS VS NUGGETS GAME 5 2009 SERIES
Near the end of Denver’s 120-101 victory, which tied the series at two, tempers were frayed. Bynum slapped the ball from Andersen midway through the fourth quarter, but also knocked his headband askew. In addition, the league downgraded a flagrant-1 foul by Andrew Bynum against Chris Andersen of the Nuggets to a simple personal foul. One more flagrant foul of any type and Jones must serve a one-game suspension.

The league assessed Jones a flagrant-1 foul Tuesday, his third of the playoffs and his second in as many games against Bryant. The NBA had something to say about Dahntay Jones’ third-quarter trip of Kobe Bryant in Game 4 Monday night, however. They dodged some pointed questions about the subject, perhaps masking their true feelings.
LAKERS VS NUGGETS GAME 5 2009 FULL
See / sportsbook for full terms and conditions.The Lakers declined Tuesday to say the Denver Nuggets had crossed the line from physical play to dirty play in the Western Conference finals. If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-80) (IL). The lines haven’t been giving the Nuggets much credit all series and with their backs against the wall, I’m looking for Denver to extend the Western Conference Finals another game. If Murray needs to take over Game 5, he will and it could mean Denver pulls away like it did in the win in Game 3. The budding star had 32 points on 12-of-20 shooting from the floor. Let’s also not forget that the Lakers still can’t stop Jamal Murray. We should see a tighter game on Saturday night. So I’m willing to chalk up Game 4s loss as more of an outlier. The Nuggets never really went away, they just couldn’t string together enough stops and Nikola Jokic had one of his worst games of the postseason. We saw a little bit of that fight and resilience in Game 4. I think Denver has at least another win or two in them before bowing out to LeBron James and the Lakers. Even if the Nuggets don’t come back and win three straight to make it to the NBA Finals. Moneyline: Lakers (-250), Nuggets (+205) The Best Bet: Nuggets ML +205 The game will be broadcasted on TNT and will be streaming on the TNT app.
Game 5 on Saturday will take place at 9:00 p.m. Let’s get you ready for Game 5 on Saturday. Are we going to see the resilience we saw in the first two rounds? Something tells me Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic aren’t quite done yet. The Western Conference Finals is at 3-1, the third straight series in which the Nuggets have had the same deficit. You didn’t really think this series would end before the Denver Nuggets went down 3-1, did you? Come on now! The Los Angeles Lakers may have fallen into a trap by winning Game 4 on Thursday night.
