Game Preview

The Denver Nuggets can wipe away one more step on their way to potential back-to-back championships when they stay on the road to face the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night.

The Nuggets took a 3-0 lead in their best-of-seven Western Conference first-round series against the Lakers by rallying once again for a 112-105 victory Thursday. Denver trailed at halftime for the third consecutive game in the series and put its finishing kick on display again.

Nikola Jokic had 24 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists for the Nuggets, but this is far from a one-man show. Aaron Gordon scored 29 points with 15 rebounds of his own. Jamal Murray scored 22 points and Michael Porter Jr. added 20 points with 10 rebounds.
