After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets buried the Lakers 115-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
