After Action Report
In Denver, the Lakers outlasted the Nuggets 104-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
