Denver Nuggets Stun Lakers, Aim for Sweep in Game 4
Los Angeles, CA - May 22, 2023
The Denver Nuggets have put the Los Angeles Lakers on the brink of elimination, taking a commanding 3-0 lead in the Western Conference Finals.
Despite being underdogs on the moneyline with odds of 130 or longer, the Nuggets have defied expectations with a 5-7 record in such situations. The Lakers, on the other hand, have struggled in Game 4 when facing a 3-0 deficit, with a record of 0-6.
The Nuggets' success can be attributed to their balanced scoring and strong defense. Nikola Jokic has been a force, averaging 29.7 points, 11.7 rebounds, and 6.7 assists per game in the series. Aaron Gordon and Jamal Murray have also provided valuable contributions.
On the Lakers' side, Anthony Davis has been their leading scorer, but he has been hampered by injuries. LeBron James has struggled to carry the team, averaging only 22.0 points per game in the series. The Lakers' shooting has also been poor, connecting on just 32.2% from three-point range.
The Nuggets will aim to complete the sweep on Monday in Game 4 at the Ball Arena in Denver. The Lakers, facing elimination, will need to find a way to turn things around and avoid a disappointing end to their season.
