Are you ready for the Lakers-Nuggets Game 5 live stream? Tonight, we'll see if LeBron and AD can avoid the mistakes Miami is making in the East. The Lakers lead 3-1 in the Western Conference Finals, but wait -- the Nuggets have been in this position the last two times in the 2020 NBA playoff series and came back to win!

So it's not impossible that Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic could lead the Nuggets to a Game 5 win and get out of a tight spot. But Denver has a difficult task ahead of them, as LeBron James is going to do everything (super) humanly possible to get to the championship.

In fact, LeBron defended Murray himself at the end of Game 4, successfully keeping the hot-shooting young star calm.

"I told my teammates that I had him and everyone else should stay home quietly," James said after the game. "| you can do it so that you can really come across that you can actually forget about my partner and i promise, anyone who quickly just ignores these seemingly exactly how {} people.

Can LeBron use his defensive magic again in Game 5? In the series so far, Murray has stepped up his offense at 3-1, scoring over 50 points multiple times. And if Jokic can stay out of foul trouble, it will provide Denver with the other buckets it needs to beat the Lakers.

But the Nuggets can't let their guard down on defense. Anthony Davis hurt his ankle in the second half Thursday night, but he walked it off and healed it and is confident he will be ready to go for Game 5.
