After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Nuggets rolled past the Lakers 144-96. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
