After Action Report

The Nuggets survived the Lakers 105-101. The Lakers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
