LeBron James didn't hold back in his efforts to keep the Lakers ahead late in their 114-108 victory over the Denver Nuggets in Game 4.
The Lakers stay a step ahead of the Denver Nuggets in their 114-108 win in Game 4, but closing out the series could be the Lakers’ toughest challenge yet.Anthony Davis hurt his ankle in the second half against the Nuggets, but he says he will not miss time with it. “Ankle feels fine,” Davis said. “Got tonight, tomorrow, before the game to get it back to, I don’t want to say back to where it was, but good enough to play. Rolled it pretty bad but not too bad. I’ll be fine.
“Like if you’re going to make a foul, just make a foul, don’t let him have a chance to shoot it. I think we can stop the break a little bit. I think we can be a little bit smarter, not giving them easy points on the line.”Speaking of fouls, after the Lakers complained to the NBA about the low number of free throws James was being awarded, James shot 14 free throws in Game 4. By contrast, James only shot four free throws in Game 2 and two in Game 3.
