The Nuggets take a 3-0 series lead with a commanding victory in L.A. and they've pushed the Lakers to the brink of elimination after a deep run. Jamal Murray scores 17 points in the 1st quarter of Game 3, positioning the Nuggets to take a commanding 3-0 series lead in the Western Conference Finals.

During the Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokić era, Denver Nuggets fans have seen their fair share of 50-point games, but the addition of another 50-bomb from a third player this season means this Nuggets team is in rarified air.

Los Angeles Lakers' LeBron James praises Denver Nuggets superstar Nikola Jokic’s dominant play in rare candid comments.

Los Angeles will be playing its fourth back-to-back game of the season. The Lakers are 2-1 in this spot. LeBron James was unavailable for the first three, but he is expected to play tonight. The Lakers have won six in a row since LeBron returned to the lineup and seven in a row overall.
