The Denver Nuggets look to close out the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals on Monday, May 22, and, in doing so, secure the franchise’s first trip to the NBA Finals. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial).

When the Denver Nuggets faced the most crucial stretch of the biggest road game in franchise history, Nikola Jokic took over both on the floor and in the huddle.

The two-time MVP decided he would run a two-man, pick-and-roll offense with Jamal Murray late in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals on Saturday night, and Jokic came through with a 15-point fourth quarter. He also commanded his teammates to buckle down on defense against the Lakers, and the Nuggets responded by taking over the game on both ends.

Whenever a challenge arises, whether it’s in the doldrums of a dominant regular season or in tough playoff matchups with the star-studded Suns and Lakers, Jokic and the Nuggets figure out a path around it, over it or through it to keep moving toward their goal.

That goal now is only five wins away, as Murray repeatedly pointed out after the Nuggets’ 119-108 victory in Game 3. With one more win over LeBron James and the reeling Lakers on Monday night, Denver can secure its first trip to the NBA Finals in the franchise’s 47 years in the league.

The Nuggets also can make another bit of history with a win in Game 4: Although this franchise has won 15 playoff series, Denver has never swept an opponent.

When is the Lakers-Nuggets Game 4?

The Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets play at 7:30 p.m. (8:30 p.m. ET) on Monday, May 22.
