After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Nuggets 124-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
