Despite a horrible performance from Carmelo Anthony, the Denver Nuggets still found a way to dominate the Los Angeles Lakers 120-101 on Monday night to tie the Western Conference finals at 2-2.

“It just shows we have heart and can play with a man down,” Nuggets guard J.R. Smith said. “We did a lot this year and kept it up.”

With Anthony playing like crap, Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith stepped up and led Denver with 24 points each. Kenyon Martin led the Nuggets with 15 rebounds, while Chris Anderson added another 14 rebounds of his own.

The Lakers will try to rebound on Wednesday night when game 5 takes place at the Staples Center.
