After Action Report
The Nuggets rolled past the Lakers 123-102. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
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.
