After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Nuggets 95-94. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
