Downing-USA TODAY Sports - 21726929in front of a raucous home crowd of 19,000-plus fans, the Nuggets switched gears on Tuesday to the business at hand. That business was the Los Angeles Lakers..
Denver responded with an and-1 layup by Murray set up by a Jokić pass. It was the same formula the Nuggets rode to a 16-4 romp in the playoffs last season en route to a championship. When the going gets tough, look to Murray and Jokić to calm things down. Malone praised a unit that returns all five starters from last year's championship run for its poise in Tuesday's win.
James led the way for the Lakers with 21 points, eight rebounds and five assists in 29 minutes. But it wasn't enough to keep the Lakers close. Murray tallied 21 points and six assists for the Nuggets while Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 on a 2-for-3 effort from beyond the arc.
