The Los Angeles Lakers had more rhythm on offense than they’d shown through much of the NBA restart and Kyle Kuzma delivered a go-ahead 3-pointer in a 124-121 win over the Denver Nuggets.
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope missed his first game of the year as the Lakers erred on the side of caution after his ankle was stepped on in their last game. That thrust Kuzma into the starting lineup, and he took advantage of the opportunity.
Anthony Davis and Michael Porter Jr. went back and forth early in the first quarter as Denver opened up a three-point lead.
