DENVER — Lakers coach JJ Redick typically makes reference to a lyric from an outdated Jay-Z tune: “It was all good just a week ago.”

Getting into Friday’s sport towards the Denver Nuggets, issues weren’t good for the Lakers. They entered on a three-game shedding streak.

However all 5 starters completed in double figures for Denver (43-24), the Lakers working out of time as a lot as they ran out of steam.

The Lakers had an opportunity to pressure extra time, however they couldn’t get the inbound go to Reaves, with Russell Westbrook getting the steal and dunking within the last seconds.

Earlier than the sport, Redick once more sounded optimistic in regards to the Lakers’ getting extra assist over the subsequent week, when the workforce performs 5 video games in Los Angeles, together with a pair of back-to-backs Sunday and Monday and Wednesday and Thursday to wrap a stretch the place they’ll play six instances in eight days.
