After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Lakers 129-128 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
