The Lakers live to see another day.
For the second season in a row, Denver held a 3-0 series lead against Los Angeles in the NBA Playoffs. Last year, the Nuggets won Game 4 to complete the sweep in the Western Conference Finals. This year, the Lakers took care of business to force a Game 5 in the first round.
LeBron James led the Lakers in scoring with 30 points. Anthony Davis recorded a 25-point, 23-rebound double-double, and D'Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves each scored 21 points.
No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit, but the Lakers will look to extend the series with a win in Game 5. They would then return to Los Angeles for an opportunity to force a Game 7.
