Timeline of bad blood between Nuggets and Lakers

There's no love lost between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers as their first-round series continues Saturday night with Game 4 (8:30 EST on ABC).

It's been an entirely one-sided matchup in recent years -- the Nuggets are riding an 11-game win streak against the Lakers. Denver's win streak also includes seven straight in the playoffs, though that total is far from the longest playoff losing streak against a single team in the past 20 years.

Even though they faced off in the 2020 Western Conference finals, the bad blood between the Nuggets and Lakers began in last year's Western Conference finals, and carried over into the offseason.
