After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Nuggets 118-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
