The big difference quickly from the first game to this one was the glut of outside shots the Lakers pushed the Nuggets ...

I mean, when you get 16 points from Fluke Walton, you know things are going the Lakers way.
Lakers have a blast in win over Nuggets

Is there anything positive to take out of game two? I think there is. Denver was within six points of the Lakers with under seven minutes left. At that point, they at least still had a chance. I thought the Nuggets were better defensively in the second contest. They clearly held Gasol and Odom in check and Luke Walton had a nice game, but he did ...

Well, that went about as well as could be expected.
From start to finish the Lakers pretty much picked the Nuggets apart with their tremendous passing and for the most part made Denver look like the no D team everyone believes them to be. The Lakers passed the ball so well the front line of Gasol, Odom and Radmanovic totaled 20 assists by ...
