In a game where the NBA and the Lakers celebrated all the shots LeBron James made in his career on the way to 40,000 points, the Nuggets continued to make every big shot to gut the Lakers.
For the eighth straight time, including last year’s Western Conference finals, Denver defeated the Lakers, collectively overshadowing any individual Lakers performance in a 124-114 win.
The Lakers led by as many as 11 in the first half, but Denver stormed back in the third quarter and dominated the final four minutes, outscoring the Lakers by 12.
