The Lakers avoided getting swept on Saturday by winning 119-108 in game 4 at home, but they still have a long way to go before making history. No NBA team has ever won a series after trailing 3-0, but the Lakers have a player who made NBA Finals history by recovering from a 3-1 deficit. LeBron James led the Cleveland Cavaliers past the Golden State Warriors by winning three games in a row, which is the only time an NBA team blew a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals. So, the Lakers have a puncher’s chance to make history in their series against the Nuggets.
The Nuggets have trailed by double digits in all four games this series, but they have been able to recover and win all but one of them. The biggest win came in game 2, where the Lakers held a 20 point lead in the third quarter. After the Nuggets fought back in the second half, Jamal Murray finished off the comeback with a game winning mid-range jumpshot. Alongside Murray’s heroics for the Nuggets, Nikola Jokić has dominated this postseason by averaging a triple-double through four games.
The Nuggets have also had incredible performances from their role players, including Aaron Gordon and Michael Porter Jr. Both players have scored more than 20 points in at least one game this postseason, and they have been performing better than the supporting cast for the Lakers.
With a must-win game for the Lakers tonight, fans will want to watch all the action for free tonight by utilizing the free trial offered by DirecTV Stream.
