LOS ANGELES: The Los Angeles Lakers’ miserable start to the season continued on Wednesday as the winless NBA giants crashed to a fourth straight defeat against the Denver Nuggets.
Nikola Jokic scored 31 points and hauled down 13 rebounds in a 110-99 win for Denver that left the Lakers rooted to the foot of the Western Conference standings at 0-4.
LeBron James finished with 19 points and Anthony Davis 22 but it was another frustrating night for the Lakers, who reached halftime tied at 54-54 before being outscored 32-17 in a lopsided third quarter in Denver.
The Lakers’ 0-4 start to the season matches their start to the 2015-2016 campaign, when the team would go on to post the worst season in franchise history, finishing with a 17-65 record.
