EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — The Los Angeles Lakers reconvened on Wednesday for the first time since their Game 2 collapse Monday against the Denver Nuggets.

As crushing as the Denver’s 20-point comeback might have felt in the moment, LeBron James said that Wednesday’s film session let the Lakers see some encouraging signs.

“We generated some great shots,” James said. “We missed a lot of shots at the rim that we’ve been making throughout the course of this season.”
