After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Nuggets 117-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat; the Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
