Nuggets head coach Michael Malone has continually emphasized that his team has to start getting off on the right foot against the Lakers, producing faster starts to prevent the double-digit deficit comebacks that the first three games have seen. On Saturday, that lesson was taken more literally. Before the Lakers’ Game 4 win Saturday in the first-round NBA playoff series to stave off elimination, several players had to warm up in flip-flops and take the court with no shoes on at all due to a mix-up with players’ insoles on the early bus to the arena, a team spokesperson told ESPN.
