On this day in 2009, the Denver Nuggets made a statement with a dominating 121-63 victory over the New Orleans Hornets in Game 4 of their first-round series. At a 58-point margin of victory, the win still stands as the largest margin of victory in NBA playoff history and all but put the series to bed.
Leading up to Game 4, the Nuggets had dominated most of the series. Denver won the first two games of the series by at least 15 points each while New Orleans squeaked out a two-point victory in Game 3 to stay alive in the series.
