It was not a good showing for the Denver Nuggets on Friday night in Los Angeles as they got blown out by the Lakers 126-108. In a game that felt like Denver hand in hand — at times — the Lakers absolutely dominated the Nuggets in the second half to come away with the victory.
The real difference in the game were the benches as the Nuggets bench was outscored 58-23 as Denver’s defense struggled once again. Denver led by 1-point at halftime as the first half consisted of a game of runs. The second half was a whole different story as the Lakers were the only team going on runs, while the Nuggets were just trying to stay within striking distance.
