After Action Report
The Nuggets upended the Lakers 134-126 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
