Game 1: Nuggets Take Early Series Lead
Denver Dominates in Opener
The Denver Nuggets have taken an early 1-0 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series against the Los Angeles Lakers. Led by two-time MVP Nikola Jokic, the Nuggets earned a convincing victory in Game 1 at home.
Jokic was once again unstoppable, posting a triple-double with 32 points, 12 rebounds, and seven assists. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope also played a key role for the Nuggets, knocking down four 3-pointers in a third-quarter blitz that helped Denver take control of the game.
The Lakers, meanwhile, struggled to find their rhythm on offense. LeBron James was held to just 21 points on 7-of-18 shooting, while Anthony Davis was limited to 15 points on 5-of-12 shooting. The Lakers also turned the ball over 18 times, giving the Nuggets easy scoring opportunities.
Game 4: Nuggets Crowned Western Conference Champions
Denver Completes Sweep
The Denver Nuggets have punched their ticket to the NBA Finals after sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference Finals.
The Nuggets dominated Game 4 in Denver, winning 126-115 behind another stellar performance from Nikola Jokic. The Serbian superstar finished with 30 points, 18 rebounds, and 10 assists, becoming the first player in NBA history to record a triple-double in all four games of a conference finals series.
The Lakers, who were without Anthony Davis due to injury, were led by LeBron James' 30 points. However, it wasn't enough to overcome the Nuggets' balanced attack and suffocating defense.
