After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Nuggets 149-113. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
