The virtual Denver Nuggets kicked off the 2K Game of the Week series with a triumphant 79-72 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Despite a highlight-worthy performance from LeBron James, Denver was able to pull out the win as a result of dominance from the team’s second unit and a fourth-quarter takeover from Nikola Jokiu0107. The virtual homecourt advantage also helped fuel Denver’s victory in the game that featured six-minute quarters.
The Nuggets were ice cold to begin the game as Los Angeles jumped out to a 12-5 lead in the opening minutes. However, in what became the story of the game, the Nuggets gained the advantage once the second unit entered the virtual hardwood.
