Nikola Jokic finished an assist shy of a triple-double, posting 24 points, 15 rebounds, and nine assists.
Anthony Davis, LeBron James, and Austin Reaves combined for 81 of the 105 Laker points. But, as has been a problem throughout the entire series, Los Angeles received minimal contributions from the rest of its roster.
