When asked about this after the game, Lakers star LeBron James said, "Just gotta get one. It's one at a time. Just focus on Game 4, and that's all you can really think about. Obviously this game is over and done with, we had some opportunities but we didn't come through, so just get ready for Monday. Just gotta get one."

When asked if the belief if still there for the Lakers in this series, James said, "It should be. I hope so. I can't speak for the guys right now, because I don't know what's going on through all their minds right now, but I still do... My mindset is always locked in as if it's a Game 1."

If the Lakers want to win this series, it will take an unprecedented comeback, which is why this game was so huge. Unbeaten on their home floor in the playoffs until this Game 3, the Lakers were hopeful that they could win both games at home and head back to Denver tied 2-2. With that now out the window, LeBron said the team needs to focus on winning one game at a time.
