After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Nuggets 117-97. Lakers' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Nuggets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
