The Nuggets took care of business again at home on Thursday night, beating LeBron James and the Lakers, 108–103, in Game 2 to take a 2–0 series lead as it shifts to Los Angeles for Saturday night’s Game 3.
Denver’s home crowd was rocking in the last two quarters, as the team stormed back from a halftime deficit and closed out the game in dramatic fashion.
Peyton Manning was one of those fans taking in the action in Denver, a city he’s called home since he joined the Broncos years ago and won a Super Bowl before calling it quits. The former QB took in the game with his son and the two had some very good seats.
