Aaron Gordon and Russell Westbrook exchange words
Russell Westbrook may have got his scoring rhythm a back bit on track but the Lakers haven’t yet. The Los Angeles Lakers took an embarrassing 37 point blowout loss to the Denver Nuggets, losing 96-133 on road on Saturday night. The Lakers have now lost three in a row.
The result of the game was almost sealed by the end of the 3rd quarter when the Lakers walked back into the locker room trailing by 23 points, 79-102. Come 4th quarter, the Nuggets led the Lakers by as much as 40 points at one point in the quarter. The result was not much deviated from that as the Lakers ended their night with a 37 point loss.

LeBron James scored team-high 25 points for the Lakers playing at Power Forward in the game. Dwight Howard who has been in rumors of being traded away started at the Center position for the Lakers. Westbrook was finally able to score in double digits (1st time in four games) as he had 19 points with a respectable efficiency of 46%. He again had his 3rd turnover-free game of the season. Malik Monk, who has been the go-to scorer after LeBron, had a bad game, adding only four points in the game.
For the Nuggets, all of their starters scored in double digits. Nikola Jokic had 17 points, 13 assists, and 12 rebounds for his 8th triple-double of the season. Jeff Green scored 26 points while the reserve guard Bones Hyland added 27 points off the bench. The Nuggets shot an impressive 51% from the field, 57% from the three-point land, and 94% from the free-throw line.

Heated Exchange between Russell Westbrook and Aaron Gordon
During the 3rd quarter, when the Lakers were trailing 69-88, Russell Westbrook and the Nuggets’ Aaron Gordon got into a tussle. Westbrook tried to drive to the rim in the traffic when he was met by Gordon who defended Westbrook by being with him as his own shadow. Westbrook turned around to fake a turn-around jumper to attempt an up and under layup. But Gordon didn’t bite and stayed with Westbrook which caused Westbrook to collide with Gordon and take the fall.
Westbrook got up and gave a stare-down to Gordon. Gordon stood up to Westbrook and had some words of his own. Twitter couldn’t help but react to this as both Westbrook and Gordon were trolled.
