Player Grades: Lakers vs. Nuggets
Briefly

The Los Angeles Lakers achieved a commanding victory over the Denver Nuggets, winning 123-100. Highlighting the game was Luka Dončić, who played his best as a Laker. The team's performance was impressive, particularly in the paint where they outscored the Nuggets 52-30. Key players included Rui Hachimura, who contributed offensively but lacked rebounds, and LeBron James, who played a solid game without needing to carry the team. Overall, this win is considered one of the Lakers' best of the season, signaling strong potential for future matches.
Hayes has raised his standard of play since the Anthony Davis trade. While this team is still short a big due to his performances, it's hurt them less than it should.
Everything went L.A.'s way and not only did they win by 20-plus points, they dominated in the paint, outscoring Denver 52-30 and never trailed.
