Denver Dominates in Recent Matchups
Nuggets Extend Winning Streak to Five
The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a disappointing loss to the Denver Nuggets on March 2, falling 124-114. The Nuggets have now won their last five games against the Lakers, averaging an impressive 117.8 points per game.
The Nuggets' balanced attack proved too much for the Lakers to handle. Nikola Jokic led the way with 27 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists, while Jamal Murray added 26 points and Aaron Gordon contributed 24 points. Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 23 points, but it wasn't enough to overcome Denver's firepower.
The Nuggets' victory extends their all-time record against the Lakers to 5-0 in their last five meetings. Denver has consistently dominated Los Angeles in recent years, and this latest win is no exception.
The Lakers will look to bounce back from this loss when they face the Oklahoma City Thunder on March 4. The Nuggets, on the other hand, will try to continue their winning streak when they host the Golden State Warriors on March 3.
