The Denver Nuggets ended a 9 game losing streak against the L.A. Lakers. The Nuggets' last win against Los Angeles came on April 9, 2007, when they beat the Lakers 115-111 at the Pepsi Center.
J.R. Smith scored 22 points for the Nuggets. Lakers coach Phil Jackson called the game a "garbage game". Maybe it is because his team lost.
The Lakers had their 2nd worst shooting night in 50 years.
