Nuggets vs. Lakers Game 4 recap as LA finally capitalizes on big lead

The Denver Nuggets and LA Lakers' Game 4 contest began like every other game in this series. The Lakers dominated the first quarter with a 28-23 lead, extending the advantage to 13 points. Anthony Davis had a monster outing in that stretch as he outplayed Nikola Jokic with 17 points and 11 rebounds on 8 of 10 shooting.

Meanwhile, Jokic had 15 points, eight rebounds and six assists on 5 of 10 shooting, with Davis primarily guarding the two-time NBA MVP. The key difference here was the Lakers' role players, playing just as well as their counterparts.

D'Angelo Russell, who went scoreless in Game 3, had seven points on 3 of 6 shooting. Meanwhile, Austin Reaves had 13 points on 5 of 11 shooting. The Nuggets had only 16 points from Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.

History didn't repeat itself in the final two quarters as LeBron James and the Lakers kept the heat up. The defensive tenacity and play execution were impeccable, as LA barely had any loose possessions.

James and Davis led from the front as the former tallied 16 of his 30 points in the second half, while the latter dropped eight points, 12 rebounds and four assists. Davis found a way to impact the game despite the Nuggets limiting his scoring in that stretch.

Meanwhile, D'Angelo Russell's confidence grew as the game progressed as he tallied 14 points on 5 of 9 shooting in the final two quarters. The Lakers rebounded better behind Davis' 23-rebound night as he beat Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon on multiple second-chance efforts, matching their combined tally of 23 boards.
