After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Lakers 129-120. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss.
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.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
