The Los Angeles Lakers let a big opportunity slip away from them against the Denver Nuggets Saturday night. Their punishment? They have to go 48 minutes with James Harden and the Western Conference-leading Houston Rockets in the second half of their weekend back-to-back.
The Lakers walked off of the court in Denver looking as deflated as a team as they’ve looked all season. The questionable whistles all night, the sloppy turnovers and the horrific offense down the stretch left the Lakers frustrated.
How will they respond after playing in the high altitude of Denver Saturday night?
