The Denver Nuggets are on the verge of sweeping the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA playoffs, leading the series 3-0 after a 112-105 victory in Game 3. The Nuggets showcased their depth and ability to adjust, overcoming a double-digit deficit to secure the win. This marks the third consecutive game in which the Nuggets rallied from behind to win. Notably, they became just the 4th team in NBA history to win the first 3 games of a series after trailing at halftime in every game. The Lakers, facing elimination, have a historical challenge ahead as no NBA team has ever overcome a 0-3 deficit in the playoffs. Game 4 is scheduled for Saturday.

Same old story repeats with Lakers-Nuggets. In 112-105 Game 3 loss in LA, Lakers can't hold onto a double-digit lead. Nuggets have too much depth and bandwidth to make adjustments. Lakers to play Game 4 on Saturday, but no NBA team has ever overcome an 0-3 series deficit.
Denver takes a commanding 3-0 series lead over L.A. The Nuggets become just the 4th team in NBA History to win the first 3 games of a series after trailing at halftime in every game, per @StatsWilliams.
