Mike Malone didn't single out Los Angeles fans. He also mentioned Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics fans who think that it's a good idea to visit Denver's home and cheer against them.
Malone's team gave the Lakers a pummeling. They won by a convincing margin, 85-117. Luke Walton took out his starters and waved the white flag midway into the fourth quarter.
The Nuggets simply performed better on every statistical category. They shot 48.5 percent from the filed as opposed to the Lakers' 39.1 percent clip. The Nuggets converted on 14-of-15 from the free throw line, while the Lakers were 12-of-18.
A huge disparity in the rebound and assist departments can also be observed. Mike Malone's boys had a total of 60 rebounds while Hollywood squad only had 39. In the assist category, the Nuggets had 28 while the Lakers had 19.
The Nuggets are looking to extend their four-game winning streak when they visit the Portland Trail Blazers on Friday.
