After Action Report
The Lakers buried the Nuggets 114-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
