Denver survives an ugly battle in Los Angeles defeating the Lakers 101-94 in overtime. Danilo Gallinari missed clutch free throws at the end of regulation and overtime, but came through with the dagger in the form of a loooong three pointer with 1:28 remaining in OT. Kobe Bryant lead all scorers with 27 points. Wilson Chandler lead the Nuggets with 19 points while shooting 5/11 from three. Both teams shot less than 38% from the field, making every offensive possession look like a chore. It was painful to watch, but good teams find ways to close out bad teams when they aren’t shooting well. Winning a close road battle to extend the win streak to 4, and 7 against the Lakers, is a great feeling as Denver heads home to face the Chicago Bulls on Tuesday night.
