After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Lakers 119-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
