After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets snuck past the Lakers 105-103. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Survive-and-advance type win.
