After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Nuggets 106-101 in overtime. Every possession went the Lakers way. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
