We're in the CO Colorado, Denver to be specific, and we are live from Ball Arena. Tonight the Lakers take on the Denver Nuggets. Here's Schroeder, got it. Of course it's Schroeder getting the first bucket. He had the game-clinching free throws after the drive through the foul in Sacramento a couple of nights ago. Jamal Murray scores in the lane. That should be an offensive foul. Good ball movement. Right-hand side. Christie tries it again. Nothing but net from three for Max. And the Lakers fortunately control it and score. Well, it's Thomas Bryant with the little eight-footer. He's become Mr. Reliable. Porter Jr., got it. So he's one of those guys, if he starts hot, he stays hot. Here's T. Bryant underneath. Got it again. Thomas in the danger zone. Thomas coming up 29 points. There's the dunk by Gordon, and it's 9-0. Here's Brown from the outside. Brown is one of their best defenders, but he knocks down a three. And there's Jokic trying a three. Got it. John Char into Jokic. Here he is underneath. Won't get high off the ground. You can bet on that, but he'll score more often than not. Porter Jr. with a jump shot. Oh, Wengen. Gabriel's got it underneath and scores! Good work by Wengen to end the drought. The hook pass to Wengen. Gabriel's going to shoot a three! And he's got it! And here we go. John Char lays it up and in. Ball outside. Jamal Murray. I wonder, Tom, if it was a clock issue as well. Yeah, I think maybe the 24-second clock. Slider, I mentioned, was in underneath. That's good patience. Really good patience by Brown. How many turnovers? Half a dozen in quarter number one. Last half minute! But they answer back with Kendrick and a three. It's Westbrook. Lob under to Wengen. He's in deep. Finish it up. Wengen, Gabriel. Russ is under 30 percent. He and LeBron, both near the bottom of three-point shooting. And they knock down a three. I mentioned Highland. Oh, great move. Aggressive move. And guarding the ball in the body that time, Kendrick Nunn. Eight and a half to play. Here comes Wengen! Slider did a very good job that time. KCP misses. Rebound Najee! Boy, that was too easy. Five-point lead. Biggest lead for Denver tonight is nine. Three for the Lakers. Gordon hits that mid-range shot. Slider, you know he's a good three-point shooter. But they closed out on him. They closed on him in a hurry. That was KCP within that. Blocked by Najee. Taken by Highland. Slider, corner. Got it! Fresh snow here in Denver. Left side, right hand for Cole. And it really wasn't a rhythm three-pointer. Murray down the middle, he goes. Throws it up and in with a layup. Murray. It's been hot so far tonight. He's into the lane. He leans in and scores. Here comes Murray. Drive. Joker didn't want it. Porter Jr. certainly does. So unselfish, Nikola Jokic. Murray. It's been his half. Russ. And still can't get his first field goal. Leaking out was Porter. Just leaked out and they found him. Christie bottled up. Now to Cole. Slider had one player in the air. Back to Mack. And he drills a three. Christie. Lakers are down by 15. Russ all the way. First bucket of the night. Schroeder throws it up and throws it in. Three-point country. Lakers up to 40 percent. Gordon. Say it again, Stu. What are they in the league? Numero uno percentage-wise. That's right. Thomas Bryant. One-hand throw down. Look out below. Jokic. Half a minute to go here at quarter number two. Caldwell-Polk. Well, they're shooting 52 percent. Christie bumps into Orant. Christie. Corner of the two. Good shot at the buzzer by Christie. They've got time, though. JTA working baseline. We've got nine to shoot. Kendrick. Left side. Left hand. That's pretty stuff by Kendrick Nunn. Christie. Blocked that time by Porter Jr. as he showed the basketball early. The scoop. Not score. Put the tap for the follow. He's trying to get a couple of stops That shot settles in for Murray. Oh, great position for Bryant. Blocked from behind by Gordon. Blocked. A couple of blocks in succession. Bryant, though, comes right back. The Joker plays screen and rolls. I mean, he's, like, always in, like, no man's land. By Toscano-Anderson. Denver Nuggets tied for first with Memphis in the West to start the night. Lakers. They turn them over. Oh, they leave JTA. He lays it in and you called it, Stu. Timeout Denver. A little set play out of the timeout. The handoff to Caldwell-Polk. Catch. Shoot. Won't score. Gordon out. Leaps. Westbrook. And scores. And one. Kendrick Nunn. Catch. Shoot. On the inbound. Ten-point game. Russ with the basketball. He's gonna back it up. Shoot a three. Got it! On cue, Russell. And it's a seven-point game. Lakers with a ton more energy right now.

Finds it. Swider corner. Got it! Yes, sir! Here come the Lakers! Look at Russ. Russ doing work! Yeah, so Cole's got nine. But again, he had that bucketing garbage time. Here's five. It's gonna be Brown at the other end. Knocking it down from the right side. Right hand. Into the corner. Brown's trying it. 90% on the year, Bruce Brown.

Russ trying to get to the rim all the way. Blocked that time. It was close. Highland! Thomas Bryant got double-teamed. Stayed with it. Missed it. Loose basketball. Way out. During this stretch, Lakers have scored at least 133 times. Russ counted. And one. Denver's committed four fouls in the quarter, so Lakers could benefit by that. But they won't benefit with that three-pointer from Jamal Murray. Schroeder all the way to the cup and scores. Westbrook, a 17, 7-7. And he scores! Not much defense. Did not get his hand caught in the cookie jar. It did look like he got pushed, didn't it? Yeah. Murray scores with the scoop at the other end. 31 points ties his season high. Doing work is Bryant. T-4! That's going to be a goaltender on Christie. Now Russ couldn't get it over Jokic. Outstretched arms. Took it away. Another turnover. And Murray's left. It's his night. Season high. Thomas is underneath. Look at him work. Three to shoot. Two to shoot. Give it up. It ain't going right. So you continually play hard when there's time on the clock. Murray throws up a prayer not answered. Has it once, twice. Are the Lakers going to get it? No, they're not. Underneath, they score. Schroeder got hit. Jokic gives it up. It's a season high in assists for Jokic. It's double-digit assists every night. Max gets some valuable reps. And he throws it in with the left hand. Nice shot by Max Christie. Under a minute to play.
