Denver can secure a spot in the NBA Finals as early as Monday night, if the Nuggets beat the Lakers and finish off what would be a four-game sweep.
If the Lakers lose tonight's Game 4 against the Denver Nuggets, they will be eliminated from the NBA Playoffs.There has never been a pair of 4-0 sweeps in the third round of the NBA playoffs, but the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat are in position to change that. The Nuggets lead the Los Angeles Lakers 3-0 in the Western Conference finals; the Heat lead the Boston Celtics 3-0 in the Eastern Conference finals.
Since the NBA started calling this round the "conference finals" in 1971, the fewest games needed to decide the champions of the East and West was nine.By the way, the maximum number of games — 14 — were needed for the conference finals in 1979 and 2018, when everything was decided in Game 7s. In 1979, Washington beat San Antonio and Seattle beat Phoenix. In 2018, Cleveland beat Boston and Golden State beat Houston.
— The NBA Finals on ABC begin June 1. That will not change even if the conference finals end earlier than many might have anticipated.Victor Wembanyama — almost certain to be the No. 1 pick in next month’s NBA draft by the San Antonio Spurs — had 22 points and 10 rebounds to lift Boulogne-Levallois to a 93-80 win over Cholet in Game 1 of their French league quarterfinal series on Sunday.
