Lakers Pick Up Massive Win Over Denver Nuggets 93-89, Anthony Davis Led LA With 25 PTS In LeBron’s Absence https://youtu.be/zkluhNMoYCc The play-in tournament still lingers, but the Los Angeles Lakers at least stopped their downward tumble with a much-needed win. Los Angeles defeated the Denver Nuggets 93-89 in Monday's Western Conference showdown at Staples Center. Anthony Davis led the way in LeBron James' absence for the victors, who improved to 37-28 and bounced back from their three-game losing streak and 1-6 mark in the previous seven. A solid showing from Nikola Jokic was not enough for the Nuggets, who fell to 43-22 as their five-game winning streak came to an end. Lakers WIN🔥🔥🔥 #LakeShow AD - 25 PTS | 7 REBS | 3 BLKS Gasol - 10 PTS | 7 REBS | +17 THT - 10 PTS | 3 ASTS KCP - 10 PTS | 7 REBS | 2 ASTS Caruso - 11 PTS AD, Lakers Avoid Brutal Collapse Everything looked to be coming up perfectly for the Lakers on Monday outside of the fact that LeBron (ankle) and Dennis Schroder (health and safety protocols) were not on the floor. The Portland Trail Blazers lost to the Atlanta Hawks, bolstering Los Angeles' chances in the race to avoid the play-in tournament. Davis also looked as smooth as he has since returning from his calf and Achilles injury that kept him out for more than two months while staking the Lakers to a halftime lead. Denver had no answer for him on the blocks, and he also protected the rim on the defensive side. Throw in a notable performance from the league's top-rated defense and Marc Gasol going into takeover mode for a stretch when Andre Drummond dealt with foul trouble with multiple threes and impressive outlet passes, and the Lakers were on cruise control with a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter. And then the Nuggets came storming back with Jokic hitting mid-range shots and floaters and even had a chance to take the lead on a Michael Porter Jr. three that rimmed out with just more than a minute remaining. The Lakers also benefited from a questionable offensive foul on Facundo Campazzo that wiped out a Porter three, and Davis made a clutch shot in the lane with 41 seconds left to push the lead back to four. Fittingly, he also blocked Campazzo's three to clinch the win and end the Lakers' losing streak in dramatic fashion.
