After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets rolled past the Lakers 128-102. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
