Nuggets Rise Up In L.A.

The Los Angeles Lakers came in to this game with a nine game winning streak. I was wondering if and when someone was going to finally beat the Lakers again. Sunday afternoon it happened as the Denver Nuggets beat the Los Angeles Lakers 95-90. The Nuggets have been a very impressive team since the Carmelo Anthony trade. Nuggets have more depth in there lineup than before. The Los Angeles Lakers were up 47-40 at halftime. My thinking would have been the way the Lakers have been playing that lead should be safe. In reality though there was a second half to still be played. The Nuggets I'm sure at halftime said right now we're down but we're not out. In the second half the Nuggets rised up against the NBA champs and outscored them 55-43. Danilo Gallinari led the Nuggets with 22 points and had 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Kenyon Martin added 18 points and 8 rebounds and Raymond Felton added 16 points. For the Los Angeles Lakers Kobe Bryant led them in scoring with 28 points, Lamar Odom added 17 points off the bench and Pau Gasol added a double double with 16 points and 12 rebounds. For The Nuggets this win was great because they clinched a playoff spot and this game proved something. It's not how you start the game but how you finish the game. I'd say the Nuggets finished the game very well and congrats to the Nuggets for the win and clinching a playoff spot.
