A look at how the Lakers staved off elimination Saturday night, from the big games of LeBron James and Anthony Davis to the contributions of role players.
The LeBron James-led Lakers were created to win games, and after ending their 11-game losing streak to the Denver Nuggets, the momentum is in their favor.
LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves and D’Angelo Russell each have 20-plus points to help the Lakers force Game 5 in Denver on Monday night.
