After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Lakers 114-110. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
