The Denver Nuggets have made NBA history by defeating LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers ten consecutive times. Despite facing the possibility of elimination, LeBron remains focused on taking it one game at a time.
No team has ever overcome an 0-3 deficit in the playoffs, making Game 4 crucial for the Lakers. LeBron emphasizes the importance of staying focused and playing with determination until the very end.
Teammate Anthony Davis echoes this sentiment, highlighting the team’s current mindset of focusing on winning one game at a time. Both players understand the significance of Game 4 and are determined to improve and secure a victory.
LeBron simplifies the situation by stating, “It’s just basketball. At the end of the day, it’s just basketball.”

The Lakers struggled to maintain momentum in Game 3, with only a few players making significant contributions. Despite strong performances from Davis, LeBron, and Reaves, the rest of the team failed to make a substantial impact on the game.
An alarming stat was D’Angelo Russell’s inability to score a single point in 24 minutes of play, leading to criticism on social media.
On the other hand, the Denver Nuggets continue to thrive in the playoffs, with Nikola Jokic expressing the team’s winning mentality. Jokic emphasizes the joy of winning and the team’s commitment to their system.
A notable fact is that the Lakers have not defeated the Nuggets since December 2022.
