After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets held off the Lakers 112-106. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Lakers. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
