After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Lakers 122-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
