The Nuggets and Lakers both gave up big fourth-quarter leads in respective Game 4s while not resting their star players. But only one team escaped with a series-tying win.

Denver went into Game 4 shorthanded, as Russell Westbrook was sidelined with an injury. Even without him, the Nuggets were up big against the Clippers in Game 4, but the Clippers were able to cut into the lead and even tie the game with eight seconds left on a tip-in from Ivica Zubac.

James Harden has had a strong series against the Denver Nuggets, but struggled in Game 4. Tyronn Lue and the Clippers need more.
