Lakers try to regain control vs confident Nuggets in Game 4

The Denver Nuggets don’t sound like an underdog. Jamal Murray believes they should be leading the Western Conference finals. They aren’t, though they say there is still a long way to go in the series.

If the Los Angeles Lakers don’t start playing better, the Nuggets might be right.

Outplayed for much of the last 1 1/2 games, the top-seeded Lakers look to regain control of the series when the teams play Game 4 on Thursday night.

Denver nearly rallied to win Game 2 and then did take Game 3 after the Lakers repeated some of their mistakes from the previous game.
