In three games this season against the Lakers, the Nuggets have dominated the fourth quarter, scoring 153.1 points per 100 possessions. Murray scored 10 points in the fourth quarters in each of Denver's last two wins against the Lakers. This season in three fourth quarters, Michael Porter Jr. and Aaron Gordon have scored 32 points on 75% field-goal shooting. Jokic, in those fourth quarters, has missed just twice in nine attempts. In reality, the gap between the Lakers and Denver, the team that's now beaten them eight straight times, is only getting wider.
