After Action Report
The Lakers demolished the Nuggets 139-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
