After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Nuggets 124-121. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
