After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Nuggets 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Lakers; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
