Game four was as forgettable a game the Los Angeles Lakers have played in the postseason thus far. Kobe Bryant was the end all be all of that game and now the Denver Nuggets have the momentum going into a pivitol game five in LA.

There is no doubt that Kobe Bryant and company will come out ready to take back control of this series in game five, but the Nuggets are proving to be tougher and tougher to beat with the production from the bench and supporting cast around Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony.

I think the Lakers will be able to win game five, but one thing is for certain in this series that the Denver bench is completely out playing the Lakers bench which is arguably one of the best benches in all of basketball.

This series is far from over as it now has to go at least six games, but it will all come down to how well the benches play in the final games.
