2009 NBA Playoffs: Game 4 - Denver Nuggets 121 New Orleans Hornets 63 (Highlights)

Game 4: Denver Nuggets 121 New Orleans Hornets 63

Analysis: Wow, can you say beatdown? The Nuggets tied an NBA Playoff record by beating the Hornets by a whopping 58 points. This is beyond pathetic for the Hornets, who after getting whopped by 58 points will probably get destroyed in Denver for Game 5. This might be a loss that causes Byron Scott to lose his job. Seriously, that's how bad this is and someone will probably end up paying the price for it and that's most likely to be Scott. Unless the Hornets have more heart than I think they do, this series is going to end in Game 5, either way the Nuggets will end up winning it in the end. I'm really looking forward to seeing the Nuggets play in the rest of these playoffs and I hope we get to see and Lakers-Nuggets Western Conference Finals.

Key Players of The Game

Carmelo Anthony: 'Melo and the Nuggets came to play in this one. He lead the Nuggets with 26 points and also had 6 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals, and 2 blocks.

Chauncey Billups: Billups had an efficient game scoring 17 points and dishing out 8 assists, while shooting 5 of 11 from the field.

Chris Paul: The Nuggets have done an excellent job defending Paul all series, but for him to have just 4 points on 2 of 7 shooting along with 6 turnovers is just unacceptable. Paul is not coming through for the Hornets in this series. He hasn't had much help either though.

Dahntay Jones: He's helped play some excellent defense on Paul throughout the series and had a good offensive game in this one as well. He finished with 12 points and 5 rebounds and hit 5 of his 9 shot attempts.
