The Nuggets went on to beat the Lakers, extending their winning streak against them and further intensifying their budding rivalry. The ring ceremony and the game were broadcasted live on TNT.
The @nuggets waste no time as they show in their opening @NBA game vs “Lakers y they are defending NBA champs . Super star Nikola Jokic goes for 29-13-11 as he is Mr Tripe Double. Denver wins 119-107!

The Nuggets extend their winning streak against the Lakers 😤 https://t.co/gJilyvgAia
Final: Nuggets 119, Lakers 107 LA falls short on Denver’s ring night. The Nuggets have beaten the Lakers six straight games. LeBron had 21 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. AD had 17 points, 8 rebounds and 2 blocks. The Lakers start the season 0-1. Up next: vs. PHX on Thursday.
Salute to the defending champs. Long season, Lakers were resilient and Nuggets are just better
Nuggets begin the 4th with Jokic on the bench while Lakers have LeBron on the floor. Probably the game deciding stretch right here
The Lakers have often appeared disjointed of their own doing tonight, but one element I imagine we're seeing here is the difficulty prepping for the Nuggets. They're uniquely built around Jokic, a truly one of one player. Practices/preseason can't replicate this. AK
Nuggets are showing the Lakers their ceiling this year is the Western Conference Finals, and that’s only if they’re not on the same side of the draw.
lakers down big early to the nuggets? well look who'll be on #TheRightTime tomorrow! https://t.co/DUdxNIWFPZ
I want to be careful to not take away from giving credit to the Nuggets for being as locked in as they are, but disappointed that this is how the Lakers come out the gate against a team that just swept them
Nuggets defense has Lakers in hell
