The Los Angeles Lakers ( 10 - 22 ) defeated the Denver Nuggets ( 13 - 19 ) 111 - 103 on Tuesday at the Pepsi Center in Denver . Behind a strong first half , where the Lakers out - scored the Nuggets 62 - 46 , the Lakers were able to steal a victory on the road . They shot 53 percent from the field and 56 percent from the three - point line , while the Nuggets shot 45 percent from the floor and only 31 percent from beyond the arc . Despite turning the ball over 20 times , the Lakers ' superior shooting kept them ahead . Kobe Bryant was the star Tuesday as usual , recording his first triple - double of the year with 23 points ( 6 - 11 FG , 3 - 5 3Pt , 8 - 11 FT ) , 11 rebounds and 11 assists . He nearly had the unconventional quadruple - double as well , considering he recorded nine turnovers . Bryant was basically able to do whatever he wanted against a poor Nuggets defense in this one . Coming off the bench , Carlos Boozer had a solid game . He scored 19 points and grabbed nine rebounds in 28 minutes . After recording only eight points on Sunday , it was a nice bounce back game for him . Starting at point guard , Ronnie Price had arguably his best game of the season . He went 6 - for - 10 from the field and 5 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score a season - high of 18 points . Considering he averages only five points a game , it was a nice boost for the Lakers . Wesley Johnson and Jordan Hill both reached double figures as well with 16 and 12 points respectively . As has been the case nearly all season , Ty Lawson did most of the damage offensively for the Nuggets . He went 5 - for - 11 from the floor and 5 - for - 9 from the free throw line to score 16 points , while also chipping in nine assists . It was about right on his season averages of 16 points and 10 assists per game . Coming off the bench Jusuf Nurkic had a surprising game , matching Lawson with 16 points ( 7 - 10 FG , 2 - 2 FT ) . He had only reached double figures in points twice this year , so the 16 points were a nice season - high for him . Despite having a poor showing from the three - point line , Nate Robinson was able to chip in 13 points ( 6 - 13 FG , 1 - 7 3Pt ) off the bench . He played 22 minutes in this one , which was much more than usual , and was also able to capitalize with a season - high of six assists . Both Timofey Mozgov and Arron Afflalo had 11 points apiece . The Lakers ' next game will be at home against the Memphis Grizzlies on Friday , while the Nuggets will travel to Chicago to play the Bulls on Thursday .
