After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Nuggets 132-90. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
