Denver Nuggets go 3-0 up over mis-firing Lakers

Nikola Jokic scored 15 fourth-quarter points to help Denver take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The two-time MVP finished with 24 points, eight assists and six rebounds.

Reuters reports the Nuggets are one victory away from reaching the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history. They can clinch Monday night when Game 4 is held in Los Angeles.

No team in NBA history has recovered from a 3-0 deficit to win a series.
