After Action Report
The Nuggets rolled past the Lakers 125-102. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
