However, he was gassed in the second half, scoring seven points in the third quarter and just three in the final period.Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets were simply too good in the second half, coming back from a 15-point deficit to take a 113-111 win to sweep the LA Lakers. Jokic finished with 30 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists to break Wilt Chamberlain's record for most triple doubles in a single postseason with eight.Also Read: "He'd be a two-time MVP passing Wilt Chamberlain every other night" - Michael Malone recalls his first meeting with Nikola JokicLeBron James hints at possible retirementLeBron James of the LA LakersOne of LeBron James' best friends, Carmelo Anthony, just announced his retirement from the NBA. After getting swept by the Denver Nuggets, James might be thinking about his future, hinting at the possibility of ending his career in Year 20.Here's the exchange between James and ESPN's Dave McMenamin:"When you say you got to think about stuff, what thread should we be pulling on that?" McMenamin asked. "If I want to continue to play," James responded.McMenamin followed up with: "As in next year?" "Yeah," James said."You would walk away?" McMenamin asked again."I got to think about it," James said.For the first time in his career, James looked mortal against the Nuggets. He doesn't have the same explosiveness and his athleticism is no longer what it used to be. He has also has been injury-prone for the fourth season in five years but remains one of the best players in the league despite his age.Also Read: "I've probably been swept the most" - Shaquille O'Neal calls himself 'the biggest superstar to ever play the game'
