The Denver Nuggets lost their last match up against the Los Angeles Lakers in the waning seconds of the fourth quarter.
Behind some heroics and luck from Lance Stephenson and LeBron James being LeBron James, the Lakers gave the Nuggets their first loss of the regular season.
Now, the Denver Nuggets will battle the Los Angeles Lakers on their home court in a re-match which could have more implications than one would expect.
The Lakers have creeped up in the Western Conference standings ever since signing Tyson Chandler as they are now in the post season picture and the Nuggets are doing their best to stay afloat in the top five of the competitive conference.
