Nuggets rout Lakers by 32

The Denver Nuggets have never been better against the Lakers. Paul Millsap, Jamal Murray and Malik Beasley scored 20 points apiece, and the Nuggets rolled to their most lopsided victory ever over Los Angeles, a 117-85 rout Tuesday night in Denver. The 32-point margin surpassed a 29-point win in 1993. "I thought we came out and just took it to them," Millsap said. "Our halfcourt defense was tremendous. We were not allowing them to get any shots. We could have done a little better job of shutting them down in the paint but overall, I think we did a really good job of coming in and establishing what we wanted to do, paying attention to the game plan.
