The Lakers blew the doors off the Nuggets 123-100. Lakers torched the Nuggets on the offensive end. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
