Who Controls The Boards: has been key in who has won each game. In game one, both teams were tied at 48, the Lakers cruised to a win. Game two, LA won the rebounding battle 50-44 and thanks to a clutch three from Anthony Davis, the Lakers edged Denver. Game three, Denver dominated the boards 44-25 and the Nuggets got the w 114-106. It's an old statement but it's known in the playoffs, if you rebound you win.
