'Beautiful day to be alive to stay alive' – Darvin Ham after the Lakers' Game 4 victory over the Nuggets.

FINAL: Lakers 119, Nuggets 108. LAL ends its losing streak against the Nuggets at 11 games and keeps playoff series alive, now down 3-1 with series going back to Denver on onday. LeBron James: 30p/5r/4a. Anthony Davis: 25p/23r/6a. Austin Reaves/D’Angelo Russell: 21 points apiece.

Lakers fans are giving Austin Reaves a mini-standing ovation as he's scored seven of LAL's last 7 points (and directly contributed to their last 9) after making a pull-up 3, banking in a fadeaway jumper and making a pair of FTs for a Lakers 48-37 lead.

END OF 1Q: Lakers 28, Nuggets 23.

LAL once again has the lead after the 1Q for the fourth consecutive game in this series. Anthony Davis: eight points, seven rebounds.

LeBron James/Austin Reaves: six points each.
