DENVER, Colorado: The Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 120-101 on Monday to even their National Basketball Association Western Conference final series at two games apiece.
Chauncey Billups scored 24 points and a determined Denver made sure they didn't let another late lead get away against Kobe Bryant's Lakers.
Denver's Carmelo Anthony was slowed by a sore ankle and a stomach bug, finishing with 15 points on 3-of-16 shooting.
