After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Nuggets 115-114. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
