After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets squeaked past the Lakers 123-120. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
