The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a disappointing loss at the hands of the Denver Nuggets on Saturday night, falling apart in the third quarter after leading for much of the first half. It was a tough night for everyone, including superstar Anthony Davis. Despite his MVP-caliber trajectory, he was silenced by the Nuggets, posting 14 points on 6-for-19 from the field.
He was still strong defensively, tallying three steals and two blocks, but that wasn’t enough as the Lakers were ran out of the gym in the second half. The Nuggets won the third quarter 37-15 and won the second half 70-39.
