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.

For the Clippers, this fifth game is about tilting the odds back in their favor and the only way to do that is to win Game 5 in Denver on Tuesday night.
