After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers buried the Nuggets 133-79. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
