The Los Angeles Lakers ended their 11-game losing streak against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night by avoiding a sweep in Game 4. 

The Lakers are currently up in this series, but they still have a long way to go to erase a 3-0 deficit, forcing a Game 5 in Denver.

LeBron James, who has been outstanding throughout the series, ended the game with an effective 14/23 shooting percentage, 30 PTS, 5 REB, 4 AST, and 3 STL. 

James is the oldest player in NBA postseason history to have this line in a game, per StatHead on Basketball Reference. James surpasses Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, who reached this mark in 1984 at the age of 37, at 39. 

James’ huge performance was just what the Lakers needed as they were able to hold a lead over the Nuggets and win.

As was already established, the Lakers are still facing a steep hole as they trail the Nuggets 3-1 and will need to travel to Denver for Game 5. 

Nevertheless, Los Angeles is attempting to win each game as it comes up and has defeated Denver for the first time in a long time. In Game 5, the Lakers will go to Denver in an attempt to win and bring this series back to Los Angeles.
