After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the Lakers 135-114. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.
