NBA Playoffs: Lakers avoid elimination, end 11-game losing streak against Nuggets

The Los Angeles Lakers finally broke their 12-game losing streak against the Denver Nuggets with a resounding 119-108 victory in Game 4 of the first round of the playoffs. This win not only kept the Lakers alive in the series, but it also showed that nobody beats LeBron James and his team 12 times in a row.

The Lakers had been struggling in the series, losing the first three games despite holding double-digit leads in each of them. However, in Game 4, they managed to maintain their lead and secure the win, thanks in part to a strong defensive effort that limited the Nuggets’ scoring opportunities.

LeBron James, who delivered a spectacular chase-down block on Jamal Murray reminiscent of his iconic play in the 2016 NBA Finals, led the way for the Lakers. Anthony Davis also had a standout performance, showcasing his skills as one of the best two-way players in the league.

Despite the victory, there are still challenges ahead for the Lakers. They are still down 3-1 in the series, and history shows that no team has ever come back from such a deficit. However, the Lakers have shown that they have the talent and determination to compete with the Nuggets, and they will look to build on this win in Game 5.

The Lakers’ situation may still be dire, but it is not impossible. With LeBron James leading the way and the team finally finding their rhythm, they have a fighting chance to make a comeback and defy the odds. Game 5 is scheduled for Monday, and fans will be eagerly watching to see if the Lakers can continue their winning ways.
