History is on the Lakers side.

When tied 1-game-all in a best-of-7 NBA playoff series, the Los Angeles Lakers have a 21-12 series record and a 21-12 Game 3 record, while the Denver Nuggets have a 0-6 series record and a 1-5 Game 3 record.

The Lakers are 6-1 SU as underdogs this year.

I'm on Denver small but I might take the Lakers at halftime if they look good.

The all time record is irrelavant in my opinion..... those records were amassed with different teams...... Just like how Boston was 32-0 in a series after being up 3-2...... OR what about phil jackson being 42-0 when his team wins game 1?.....

The 6-1 record for the current year is very relavant......
