Lakers' Struggles Continue with Defeat to Nuggets Amid Criticism
The Los Angeles Lakers suffered a significant defeat to the Denver Nuggets, losing 127-102 after a strong first half. Anthony Davis's performance was notably weak, scoring only 14 points, which drew criticism from former Lakers star James Worthy. Worthy highlighted Davis's lack of aggression and inability to match Nikola Jokic's force, who dominated with 34 points. The loss marks a step back for the Lakers, now 10-6, as they prepare to face the Phoenix Suns in the NBA Cup.
