At #4 on the list of Denver's most heartbreaking sports losses is Game 1 of the 2009 Western Conference Finals between the Denver Nuggets and the Los Angeles Lakers.

Game 1 set the tone for a hard-fought battle, but controversy, missed opportunities, and what some Nuggets fans viewed as questionable coaching left a lasting scar. What could have been a statement road victory instead became one of the most frustrating losses in franchise history. Do you think Game 1 was the turning point of the series?
