The Los Angeles Lakers secured their first victory against the Denver Nuggets, triumphing 119-108 in Game 4.
Despite three consecutive second-half struggles, the Lakers successfully fended off Denver’s advances, narrowing the series gap to 3-1. LeBron James showcased a near-flawless performance in the latter half, propelling his team to victory with 30 points, 14 of which came in the decisive fourth quarter. Anthony Davis also played a pivotal role, contributing 25 points and an impressive 23 rebounds.
While the Lakers celebrate avoiding a sweep, fans pondered whether they possess the resilience needed for a comeback:
With no team in history overcoming a 3-0 deficit, the odds are against the Lakers. However, LeBron James has defied expectations before.
A notable shift in Saturday’s win was the enhanced contributions from the Lakers’ supporting cast. D’Angelo Russell and Austin Reaves each delivered 21-point performances, underscoring the importance of such efforts for a potential turnaround.
While James and Davis remain reliable pillars, the Lakers will rely on their role players to step up in forthcoming games.
