After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets demolished the Lakers 122-83. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Lakers. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
