Yes, the Nuggets have already rallied back from a pair of 3-1 series deficits in this strictly-Orlando postseason, but neither the Utah Jazz or L.A. Clippers were as determined as the Lakers to qualify for the NBA Final.

To summarize, the Nuggets are in a 20-foot hole with 10-feet of rope as Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals tips at 9 p.m. Saturday from AdventHealth Arena.
So, the equation is simple for Denver, either find a way to slow down L.A. stars Anthony Davis and LeBron James, who combined for 60 points in Thursday’s 114-108 Game 4 victory, or collect the free steak knives and leave the Florida bubble.
A win for L.A. would put the celebrated franchise in its first NBA Finals in 10 seasons, who the late Kobe Bryant guided the Lakers to another title.
Denver guard Jamal Murray paced the Nuggets in Game 4 with 32 points and eight assists. He’ll need a lot more help from teammates Jerami Grant, Nikola Jokic, Monte Morris and more to keep Denver’s season alive.
