Anthony Davis On Lakers' Win: Nuggets Are 'Not Gonna Go Away' [Highlight Videos Inside] | #2020NBAPlayoffs
 
 
 
 
LeBron helped get some big stops, but Murray was unlucky a few things didn't go his way
 
 

The Denver Nuggets have gotten this far in the playoffs thanks in large part to the heroics of their young guard, Jamal Murray. Entering Game 4 of the Western Conference finals against the Los Angeles Lakers, Murray was ninth in the entire playoffs in scoring at 26.6 points per game, and he was getting an average of 9.4 of them in fourth quarters. Only Donovan Mitchell had scored more in the final frame among postseason performers in the bubble. 

So when they trailed in the fourth quarter on Thursday night, it was little surprise they put the ball in the hands of their budding star -- especially with Nikola Jokic struggling to get into a rhythm because of foul trouble. And early on, he did his thing, scoring six points in a two-minute burst, including a remarkable turnaround with his left hand that was somehow not his best shot of the night

Enter LeBron James.

After that basket with a little more than six minutes left, LeBron took over the responsibility of guarding Murray. The Canadian didn't make another shot down the stretch, his only contributions coming at the free throw line. Without Murray leading the way, the Nuggets weren't able to overtake the Lakers, and Los Angeles escaped with a 114-108 win to take a 3-1 series lead. 

"Hell of a player, one of the hottest guys we have in the bubble today out of the four teams remaining. So I just wanted to try to take the challenge," LeBron said about the matchup change in his on-court interview postgame. It wasn't quite as simple as LeBron locking him up, however. Let's take a look, possession by possession, at what happened in the LeBron-Murray matchup.

Anthony Davis had never appeared in the conference finals before, but he has met the moment with some dominant fourth quarters against the Nuggets.

With the Lakers clinging to a four-point lead in the fourth, LeBron James asked to switch onto Nuggets star Jamal Murray, a move that helped L.A. hold on for a 114-108 win.
 

If Jamal Murray was going to add yet another comeback victory to the Denver Nuggets' dream postseason run, he was going to have to go through LeBron James.

With the Los Angeles Lakers clinging to a four-point lead with just more than five minutes left in the fourth quarter on Thursday, James -- whose eldest son, 15-year-old LeBron James Jr., is closer in age to the 23-year-old Murray than he is -- switched onto the Nuggets' supernova.

"LeBron asked for the assignment, and obviously I granted it," Lakers coach Frank Vogel said of the 35-year-old James after the Lakers' 114-108 win drew them to within one victory of the NBA Finals, as L.A. now leads the Western Conference finals 3-1.
