When Lakers forward LeBron James missed the final shot of Game 4 against the Nuggets, Denver assistant coach and former Timberwolves head coach Ryan Saunders had a few emotions running through him. It was a "surreal" moment, and Saunders also felt a sense of relief, even as the Nuggets swept the Lakers.
"You've seen LeBron do that so many times where he has been able to do special things," Saunders said. "Not just to carry his team to a win, but carry his team to history. If anybody was able to come back from a 3-0 deficit, you're thinking it'd be LeBron James.
