The Denver Nuggets dropped a critical contest Tuesday, surrendering a 13-point second-half advantage to fall 112-103 at the Lakers.
Here are six takeaways from the defeat:
1. Public Enemy No. 1. The boos began for Jamal Murray when he was the last Nuggets starter introduced before the game and continued throughout the contest. Eventually, they evolved into a unified, derogatory chant of his name. Nuggets coach Michael Malone said was pleased with how Murray responded to the noise — he scored eight consecutive points in the first quarter and finished with 18 — and did not believe the hubbub impacted the rest of the team.
