After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the Lakers 134-86. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
