Tough loss to the Denver Nuggets. The Lakers drop this game after a tough deadline day.

So we've got a lot of stuff to talk about the nuggets.

Just the excellence of

execution continue to play great basketball down the stretch, pick the Lakers apart. The Lakers

tied it late. And then the Nuggets responded with a quick 10-0 run. They just are so efficient

in their execution in close games. Almost like you need it like a a five, six, seven, maybe even ten point lead late in

games against them because you know they're going to pick you apart down the stretch.

And that's exactly what Denver did to the Lakers tonight.

Frustrating one, you know, frustrating day.

I'm exhausted.

I'll admit I'm exhausted at this point after covering the trade deadline all day.

And then Kobe's statue unveiling, that was obviously an incredible, the highlight of the day for sure.

And now this game, it has been a long day, Lakers fans.

It's been a long, long day.

And we've got plenty of talk about still.

So let's start diving into it, taking a quick peek at the stat sheet.

Again, rough.

What you needed in this game was you needed Denver not to shoot lights out from three.

They shot 44% from deep.

You got 27 out of Michael Porter, 24 out of Yokic, 29 out of Jamal Murray.
