After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Nuggets 100-98. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
