The Nuggets' starting lineup totally outplayed the Lakers' starting unit in this match. It was the energy of the Lakers' second group that made this game tight at the start of the fourth quarter, but the Nuggets' starting unit regained control of the match and turned this into an easy victory.

The All-Star, Nikola Jokic again filled up the stat sheet, finishing with 12 points, 17 rebounds and 8 assists. Will Barton scored a team-high 23 points. He also shot 5-11 from the 3PT line and opened the match with two consecutive three-point makes for his team. All five of the starters scored in double figures in this match. Jamal Murray and Gary Harris contributed 19 points each to the team's total.

The Nuggets will again look for this kind of consistency when they visit the Warriors in their next match.
