The Denver Nuggets dropped a disappointing 127-125 overtime thriller to the Los Angeles Lakers, which saw LeBron James save his team by going full extension to secure an extra possession late in the fourth quarter. LA is a serious threat if King James is doing all the little things. They have Luka Doncic and Austin Reaves to get buckets. The Lakers need LeBron to play stout defense and make winning plays. He scarily did just that against the Nuggets.
Denver fell behind big early, only to storm back with a 37-point third quarter. The Nuggets appeared to be in control of the game late, but Los Angeles kept fighting.
