Anthony Davis’ 27 points was icing on the cake. For Nuggets, Nikola Jokic and Jerami Grant each scored 20 points.Lakers head coach Frank Vogel lavished praise on James. “I just feel like he has had a chip on his shoulder all year long. Everybody has doubters and to be in the Eastern Conference and get there as much as he had and now to come over the Western Conference and to do it with a third team is just an enormous accomplishment.” said Vogel.
