LeBron James: Lakers Give Themselves ‘Lifeline’ With Game 4 Win Against Nuggets

Thanks to a stellar performance by LeBron James, who scored 30 points, and Anthony Davis, who contributed 25 points and 23 rebounds, the Los Angeles Lakers managed to avoid elimination and end their 11-game losing streak against the Denver Nuggets with a 119-108 victory in Game 4.

This win was crucial for the Lakers, as it prevented them from being swept by the Nuggets for the second consecutive season and forced the series back to Denver. However, the pressure remаins high for the Lakers, as they are still in a do-or-Ԁie situation, and LeBron James fully understands the stakes.

LeBron stated after the game, “The only opportunity for us is just to play the next game. And we’ve given ourselves another life. We’ve given ourselves another lifeline, and it’s a one-game series for us. Monday’s game is the most important game of the season for us, and we understand that and we know that, so it’s not much to talk about.”

The Lakers are now aiming to make history by becoming the first team in NBA history to overcome a 3-0 series deficit. However, LeBron emphasizes the need to approach each game individually and not focus on the larger picture.

The Lakers’ victory over the Nuggets also seems to have lifted a mentаl block that had plagued them in previous seasons. However, LeBron is not dwelling on that aspect and remаins focused on the next game.

LeBron added, “I don’t know. We won this game, and that was most important. Now we’ve got to start focusing on the next one. If we lose the next one, then it will be 12-1 in the last 13 games, so we want to try to make that not happen. We want to continue to play good basketball and focus on our next task, and our next task is, like I said, Monday’s game and see what happens.”

The Lakers can only prepare for Game 5, where they face the same pressure of their season coming to an end if they fail to secure a victory. However, with LeBron and Davis performing at such high levels, the Lakers still have a chance against any opponent.
