The Nuggets don't seem too worried after narrow Game 1 win over Lakers

Despite looking set to be run off the floor for at least the first half of Game 1, the Lakers were the team that put a scare into the Nuggets by the time the final buzzer rang.After pushing all the right buttons in the second half and making the adjustments, the Lakers stormed back from down 21 points and nearly stunned the hosts in Game 1.
Walking away from the game, the Lakers certainly could feel like a team that had the Nuggets thinking and potentially flustered.
