The Los Angeles Lakers ( 5 - 23 ) defeated the Denver Nuggets ( 11 - 17 ) 111 - 107 on Tuesday night . The game was a tale of two halves , as these teams showed why they have struggled so much this season . The Nuggets scored 64 points in the first half to take a 13 - point lead , but blew it in the second half with some bad defense . The Lakers outscored Denver 32 - 16 in the third quarter and went to Kobe Bryant to close things out at the end . Denver made some crucial errors late and it really hurt them in a game they really should have won . It was a vintage Kobe performance , as he carried the Lakers to a much needed win . He matched his season - high with 31 points and hit multiple baskets late to seal the victory . Jordan Clarkson and Lou Williams both played good as well , as they scored 36 points combined . The offense has been terrible all season , for the Lakers , but this 111 - spot will hopefully get them going . Their next game will be on Christmas , when they take on the Los Angeles Clippers . The Nuggets had a season - high 21 - point lead in the second quarter , but managed to choke that away . They let the Lakers go on a 23 - 3 run between the second and third quarter and could never recover after that . Will Barton scored 18 points in the first quarter , but really struggled after that , finishing with 25 in the game . The one bright spot was the bench , as all four players who came off the bench scored at least nine points while accumulating 58 points all together . Denver also played this game without Danilo Gallinari and that might have been the key in the loss with no go - to weapon at the end of the game . This was a brutal loss for Nuggets fans and they 'll look to bounce - back on Wednesday when they take on the Phoenix Suns .
