With how they have bounced back all postseason, it was not surprising to see the Denver Nuggets take it to the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals.
The Nuggets came away with a 114-106 victory, making the series 2-1 in favor of the Lakers. Playing with much more energy and passion, Denver opened up a double-digit lead in the second quarter that they rode all the way into the fourth quarter.
However, Los Angeles responded with a massive run that brought the game within three points before the Nuggets eventually pulled away.
