The Nuggets lost 120-108 to the Lakers on Wednesday in a game that Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and LeBron James missed due to injuries.
The Nuggets are 1-1 on the road without Jokic and Murray this week, still an overall win under the circumstances as they head to Portland next. They made a 31-9 run in garbage time Wednesday to trim a 30-point deficit all the way to eight with 40 seconds left.
Luka Doncic got traded to the Lakers?
How exactly did that happen, again? Doncic eviscerated the Nuggets’ hope for a second consecutive unlikely win before it could even materialize.
