F Danilo Gallinari vows to use a disastrous Game 7 showing against the Lakers as motivation for next season. Gallinari shot 1-of-9 for three points and had three turnovers and ended the game on the bench as the Nuggets lost 96-87 to be eliminated from the playoffs. "I don't want to have that happen again in my future career," said Gallinari, who had problems sleeping in the nights after the game. "I'm going to keep it as motivation."

Gallinari posted 12 points, seven assists, four rebounds, one block and one steal during Denver's in in Game 6 over the Lakers on Thursday night.
Recommendation: Gallinari hasn't shot very well throughout the series (5-of-13 FGs, 2-of-6 3pt on Thursday) but the assists and his defense have been pleasant surprises. The Nuggets will need him to be on his A-game if they're to have any shot at winning this series on Saturday.
