Nuggets Knock off Lakers 90-79

The Lakers scored a season low 79 points against the Nuggets Friday night and had their worst shooting night of the season. The Lakers shot a putrid 29% from the field and less than 10% from 3 point land. The Lakers missed almost 70 shots. That's right, 70 shots! Kobe had a horrible shooting night going 10-31 from the field. Lamar Odom went 5-17, Trevor Ariza was 0-6 and Derek Fisher shot 2-7. Denver was paced by 22 points apiece from Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith. Tonight's game was a combination of a tremendous defensive effort from a good Nuggets team and a tired Lakers team. L.A. doesn't have much time to lick their wounds. The Lakers have a rematch against Phoenix Sunday afternoon.
