After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Lakers 122-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
