After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Lakers 124-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
