After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets rolled past the Lakers 134-104. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
