After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets survived the Lakers 106-105. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
