After Action Report
The Lakers took care of the Nuggets 118-104. Lakers' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
