The Los Angeles Lakers won over the Denver Nuggets, marking their fifth consecutive victory and eighth in nine games. However, the Lakers were reportedly benefited from an incorrect foul call in the final seconds of the game. The Lakers had been trailing by three with 10 seconds left, but Austin Reaves was fouled and had both made both free throws. The NBA's Last Two Minute Report stated that Jones dislodged the ball away from Reaves, causing it to go out of bounds. The game ended in overtime thanks to a game-winning play from Luka Dončić. The win could potentially have significant implications for the Western Conference playoff picture.
