Speedy point guard Ty Lawson believes more running and better rebounding will get the Denver Nuggets back into their first-round series with the Los Angeles Lakers. Coach George Karl thinks it boils down to controlling the paint, preventing Lakers center Andrew Bynum from dominating down low. Or the trick to turning this series around could be something as simple as this: Playing with a lead for once. The Nuggets haven’t led for so much as one trip down the floor in falling into a 2-0 hole against the Lakers. That’s why the Nuggets hope for a fast start in Game 3 tonight ( 7:30 on ESPN) at Pepsi Center. – Associated Press
