The Los Angeles Lakers took a 3-1 series lead in the Western Conference Finals after beating the Denver Nuggets 114 to 108 in Game 4 on Thursday Night. The Lakers are now just one win away from going to the Finals.

Stars Anthony Davis and LeBron James combined for 60 points but Game 4 was also about the Lakers offensive rebounds. Los Angeles had 12 in total vs the Nuggets.
