After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers demolished the Nuggets 143-118. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
