After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets outlasted the Lakers 114-107. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
