The Nuggets collected a 114-106 win in Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals on Tuesday night.
James, 35, put up a triple-double with 30 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds in 37 minutes. All-Star Anthony Davis chipped in with 27 points, while point guard Rondo put up nine points, eight assists and three steals.
However, the Lakers’ production and furious rally from a 20-point deficit in the fourth quarter wasn’t enough to overcome the Nuggets.
Nuggets rising superstar guard Jamal Murray put the Lakers away in the closing minutes of regulation with back-to-back triples. The youngster gathered 28 points, 12 assists and eight rebounds in a game-high 44 minutes on the floor.
The Nuggets will have a chance to even up the series on Thursday.
