After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Nuggets survived the Lakers 120-116. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
