Without James and four other significant rotation players, the Lakers skid into their own limitations against the Western Conference leaders in a 122-109 defeat that halts their five-game winning s…
DENVER — Technically, the game was within five points. And yet even in the third quarter, the Denver Nuggets weren’t just a mile high – they were a mile ahead of the Lakers.
Meanwhile, the Lakers – winners of five straight games going into Monday night – skidded into their own limitations, brought about by injuries and old habits. Their best stretch of the season so far crashed all at once in the 122-109 loss to Western Conference leaders, who won their 11th consecutive home game.
But whereas the Lakers found a way to win last week against Miami without James in the lineup, on Monday their role players – stellar throughout the streak – fell back to Earth. Russell Westbrook missed his first eight shots of the night, while Dennis Schröder was cold, going just 3 for 13 from the field . Thomas Bryant managed 17 points and 10 rebounds, but he was flustered offensively – going just 6 for 14 – and he had little answer on defense for Jokic’s triple-double effort .
