When I wrote my game preview, I thought I might little too high with my 111-105 Nuggets win prediction. It’s never smart to bet that a team is going to score THAT many points.
Boy, was I wrong.
The Nuggets defeated the Lakers 120 to 109 Tuesday night. The teams played a legitimately entertaining game, even though it was rather sloppy.
Vine was set ablaze with dunks, no-look passes and impressive post moves by each team, making this game a very enjoyable experience.
In a nice surprise, J.J. Hickson played a very impressive game, feasting on crafty cuts past the slower Roy Hibbert and lost-on-defense Julius Randle.
