After struggling to get going in Game 3, the Lakers rebounded emphatically by defeating the Denver Nuggets 92-88 to take a commanding 3-1 series lead in the series. Lakers point guards Steve Blake and Ramon Sessions both hit big three-pointers in the final minute of the game to seal it for the purple and gold. Per usual, the Lakers were led by Kobe Bryant (22 points) and Andrew Bynum (19 points and seven rebounds).
They now have a chance to win the series at home on Tuesday at the Staples Center.
