After Action Report

The Nuggets rolled past the Lakers 116-93. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
