NBA playoffs: Nuggets push Lakers to the brink with 3-0 lead

The Denver Nuggets have so far had all the answers they need for the Los Angeles Lakers, and now they're one game away from a sweep.

Behind 35 points from Jamal Murray, the Nuggets won Game 3 119-108 on Saturday to take a 3-0 lead in the Western Conference finals. If the Nuggets win Game 4 in Los Angeles on Monday, they will face the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics for the first title in franchise history.

No team has ever come back from down 3-0 in an NBA playoff series.
