Lakers edge Nuggets in OT after Last Two Minute Report miscall

LA outlasted Denver in overtime after Austin Reaves intentionally missed a late free throw, grabbed the rebound, and scored to force OT, where Luka Dončić sealed the win with a clutch jumper; the NBA’s Last Two Minute Report flagged one incorrect foul on Spencer Jones with 9.2 seconds left in regulation that would have given the Lakers control of inbounding down three, though it’s unclear whether the outcome would have changed. The piece notes Lakers’ strong clutch record (18-6) and recalls a prior missed Suns travel call, but argues tight games tend to even out.

Nuggets Near Full Strength as Gordon and Watson Move Closer to Return

Denver is closing in on a fully healthy rotation as Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson progress in their returns from hamstring injuries. With about 20 games left, coach David Adelman hopes to have the full group back soon, possibly by next Thursday against the Lakers, though the team will proceed cautiously given Gordon’s injury history. Gordon has been involved in conditioning and some non-contact work, while Watson indicated he’ll be back soon, and both returns are seen as key to improving defense and playoff contention for the Nuggets.
