The Denver Nuggets suffered a 123-100 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Saturday night. Following the matchup against the new and improved Lakers led by young star Luka Doncic, Nuggets head coach Michael Malone spoke with the media.
The Nuggets return to action Thursday (7 p.m. MT) after a seven-day hiatus. Also expected to return is Russell Westbrook, who missed the last seven games before the All-Star break with a hamstring injury that he suffered two days after Malone chose to start him over Christian Braun.
Nikola Jokic ended with a career-best 19 assists, while also adding 18 points and nine rebounds, helping the Nuggets improve to 38-20 this season
