Spotlight- The Denver Nuggets starting lineup
Though Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray will get their share of the praise for completing Denver’s sweep of the Los Angeles Lakers, it was a team effort, particularly the Nuggets starting five. All five Denver’s starters scored in double figures, and scored 105 of the team’s 113 points.
