Denver Nuggets 122-104 Los Angeles Lakers

Tonight, the Lakers played without Brook Lopez, Lonzo Ball, Brandon Ingram, Andrew Bogut and them desire to defend. The Lakers were again submerged by Nuggets (122-104), denied by Nikola Jokic, Paul Millsap, Gary Harris and Wilson Chandler
Luke Walton had expressed his annoyance in the last few days after taking 61 points in the first half of the first two pre-season games. The least that can be said is that the message does not pass: they have this time cashed 41 points in the first twelve minutes and 74 in total at the break. Kyle Kumza (21 points), well supported by Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, showed that he was the man of confidence in Los Angeles at the moment.

The upset is that despite the victory, Mike Malone called the defensive performance of his players "poor." One dare not imagine the qualifier used by Luke Walton.
