After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets blew the doors off the Lakers 119-94. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
