The Los Angeles Lakers defeated the Denver Nuggets 114-108 in Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals after addressing issues that cost them a win in the previous meeting.
L.A. shot better, took control of the glass, and avoided turnovers on Thursday night in a much improved overall showing. But also they went to the free throw line much more often, taking a total of 35 attempts at the charity stripe as compared to 22 in Game 3.
The Lakers converted 28 (80%) which allowed them to stay ahead even when Denver got within one possession multiple times in the second half.
