After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Nuggets 106-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
What tipped it
