The Nuggets took care of the Lakers 106-96. Every possession went the Nuggets way. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
