The Lakers gave it everything they had in Game 4 on Monday, but it was ultimately not enough as the Nuggets completed an unlikely but impressive sweep of the Lakers with a 113-111 victory.
No one would have anticipated a sweep coming into this series but Denver had answers all series long to anything and everything the Lakers threw at them. There’s some solace in losing to a team that was just flat out the better team like the Nuggets were, though that ultimately doesn’t make the losses any less frustrating.
Each Denver performance this series was more impressive than the prior.
