Rookie Dalton Knecht has 20 points in his return to the starting unit, Anthony Davis has 19 points and 14 rebounds and LeBron James has a triple-double as seven Lakers score in a double figures in

It was almost 4 a.m. Wednesday when the Lakers arrived at their hotel, their last two losses exposing some of the worst internal fears of the team. The way they had played in the second half of losses to Denver and Phoenix had players wondering whether all the work the team had put in over the last two months had been worth it and all the effort and time spent trying to change had mattered.

By his standards, Murray was quiet against both the Lakers and the Knicks. He scored 34 points combined in the two games, a far cry from the supernova he turned into when the Nuggets met the Lakers in the NBA Playoffs the past two seasons.

Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone torched his own team on Monday night after their 145-118 against the New York Knicks on Monday.

The more points the Nuggets give up, the redder Michael Malone tends to get. So it’s no wonder he was running an emotional fever after the highest-scoring regulation game by any Nuggets opponent in his 10-year coaching tenure.
