After Action Report
The Nuggets demolished the Lakers 129-106. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
