The NBA hosted its Rivals Week on Tuesday, and the featured game was between the Los Angeles Lakers and Denver Nuggets.

The Nuggets are continuing to play without Nikola Jokic, and weren’t going to fold for LA. Denver led by 16 points at one point in the third quarter, but the Lakers are also a team that won’t fold.

The Lakers stormed back, dominating the second half and outscoring the Nuggets 58-36. Luka Doncic led the way with a 38-point, 13-rebound, and 10-assist triple-double.

LeBron James added 19 points, nine rebounds, and eight assists to help lead the Lakers to a 115-107 victory.
