LeBron James scored 30 points to help the Los Angeles Lakers beat the Denver Nuggets and keep their Western Conference first-round play-off hopes alive.
The Lakers were down 3-0 in the best-of-seven series, but fought back on Saturday to win 119-108 in Los Angeles.
James was supported by Anthony Davis, who recorded 25 points and 23 rebounds to end an 11-game losing streak against the Nuggets.

“The only opportunity for us is to play the next game.”
James is seeking his fifth NBA title and first with the Lakers since 2020.
The fifth game takes place in Denver on Monday.
