LeBron James is one win away from helping the Los Angeles Lakers get back to the NBA Finals and one win away from making his ninth trip to the NBA Finals in 10 seasons. However, the team standing in their way is one that is uniquely comfortable in these positions in the Denver Nuggets.
The Nuggets are the only team in NBA History to come back from a 3-1 deficit twice in a single postseason. And as the Lakers know very well, closeout games are typically the toughest games of a series.
How To Watch
Time: 6 p.m. Pacific/9 p.m. Eastern

The Nuggets have been strong in elimination games as well over the last two years of the Jokic-Murray era, going 7-1 in those scenarios over the last two postseasons.
