After a really disappointing showing against the Phoenix Suns, the Los Angeles Lakers were able to crush the Denver Nuggets from the start on Sunday. As a potential Western Conference playoff team, this was a good win for the Lakers.
While trailing early, the Nuggets lost their cool, as head coach Mike Malone and center Nikola Jokic were both tossed from the game. Losing Jokic was big for the Nuggets, as he is one of their best players.
In the win, the Lakers were able to score 127 points, as it was arguably their best offensive showing of the season.
