The Nuggets weren’t able to pull out a win over the Lakers in their matchup tonight, losing 124-121 in a highly entertaining game against the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.
Denver was able to give their starters rest, with no player getting more than 27 minutes. Malone went with his bench to close out the game against LeBron James and Anthony Davis, and they nearly pulled off the upset, with Kyle Kuzma having to knock down a 3-pointer just before time expired to win the game.
