Denver will visit LeBron James and the Lakers twice over its five-game preseason slate that the team released Monday.

The term “unfinished business” is a convenient phrase that’s thrown around this time of year when prized free agents announce that they’re returning to the same teams they came up just short with a season ago. Both Paul George and Chris Paul typed out those two words verbatim on their social media accounts late Saturday night after re-upping with the…...

LOS ANGELES — Trash talk is a part of the game of basketball that Jamal Murray knows well. He grew up watching Kobe Bryant torment opponents on the same floor where his team fell 112-103 to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday. The confident 21-year-old isn’t afraid to participate in a war of words if he feels he can gain…...

LOS ANGELES — The boos started during pregame introductions. A capacity crowd at Staples Center on Tuesday night let Jamal Murray know how they felt about the incident at the conclusion of Friday’s Nuggets and Lakers matchup that dominated much of the conversation in the days leading up to the two team’s rematch....

Lakers coach Luke Walton called him “disrespectful.” Some might call him cocky. Nuggets coach Michael Malone calls his 21-year-old point guard confident. The thing about Jamal Murray is he’s probably a mix of all three. The last time the Nuggets and Lakers met before Friday’s matchup was back on Dec. 2. As time expired at the end of regulation, Murray, who finished…...

The Denver Nuggets were in desperate need of a bucket with a little less than five minutes remaining in Friday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers. Denver, which had already blown a game to a lottery-bound team earlier in the week, trailed the Lakers by a point. It couldn’t afford to fall to sub-.500 team twice in four days in…...

Garretson pushed Walton back to his bench as the Lakers…

DENVER — Nuggets coach Michael Malone had one statistic in his mind at Friday morning’s shootaround. His team is 23-6 when they win the first quarter. Denver had lost its last two first quarters — to both Dallas and Cleveland — but came out energized Friday and won tonight’s first quarter 37-28. Denver tallied 13 assists on 15 made baskets…...

The last time the Denver Nuggets faced the Los Angeles Lakers, the game ended with some bruised feelings. On Dec. 2, Denver defeated Los Angeles 115-100. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Jamal Murray dribbled the basketball around Lonzo Ball, who wasn’t paying attention. Lakers big man Julius Randle wasn’t happy about the display of showboating. He fouled…...
