After Action Report
The Nuggets demolished the Lakers 121-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
