The Denver Nuggets ( 24 - 37 ) defeated the Los Angeles Lakers ( 12 - 50 ) 117 - 107 at Pepsi Center on Wednesday . The second game of a back - to - back for the Lakers proved to be a heavy workload , as the team looked tired throughout the second half . Kobe Bryant ( shoulder ) started , but only played the first half , likely to give the crowd a sendoff in his final game in Denver . It was far from a pretty showcase between the two teams , but the Lakers received another strong performance from rookie point guard D'Angelo Russell , who scored 24 points on 9 - of - 21 shooting , to go along with one rebound and six assists in 36 minutes . Russell has broken through in the second half of the season , and heading into Wednesday , he had posted a five game stretch averaging 21 points , 4 rebounds , 5 assists on 55 percent shooting . That stat line is the lone bright spot for Los Angeles aside from Brandon Bass ' defensive improvement over the last 10 games . Bass added 11 points on 4 - of - 7 shooting off the bench , but helped bring his team within striking distance of the Nuggets down the stretch , forcing a couple of turnovers and defending both the paint and wing at an exceptional level . Bryant five points in 10 minutes of game time , while Julius Randle fell short of a double - double with 17 points and seven rebounds . The Lakers will host the Atlanta Hawks ( 33 - 28 ) on Friday . The Nuggets held on to win , but it looked bleak after surviving an eight minutes stretch of play between the third and fourth quarters where they scored an underwhelming two points . Denver shot 1 - of - 12 during that stretch , and save for the Lakers inability to rebound the ball , the eight minute stretch could have been extended . The unlikely hero came on the back of D.J . Augustin , who rallied the Nuggets after the scoring drought and finished with 26 points , seven rebounds , five assists and one steal on 7 - of - 11 shooting in 23 minutes off of the bench . Emmanuel Mudiay put together a strong game , and the rookie matchup with Russell made for the most entertainment , as he rounded out the box score with 22 points , four rebounds and seven assists on 10 - of - 20 shooting . Gary Harris , Nikola Jokic and Kenneth Faried all finished in double figures in their starting roles . The Nuggets will host the Brooklyn Nets ( 17 - 44 ) on Friday .
