The Los Angeles Lakers have very little time to dwell on their 10-game winning streak being snapped as they face the Denver Nuggets in a battle of the top two teams in the Western Conference.
The Lakers remain at the top of the conference with a 17-3 record while the Nuggets aren’t far behind at 13-4.
The Nuggets have been carried by their defense during the 2019-20 NBA season as they lead the league in defensive rating. They don’t turn the basketball over too much and are an excellent rebounding team, limiting their opponents to just one chance to score.
