After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets downed the Lakers 114-96. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
