LOS ANGELES – The Denver Nuggets came up short in their bid to upset the Lakers on their home court in Game 7 of the Western Conference Playoffs, falling 96 to 87 Saturday night at Staples Center.

Danilo Gallinari, Andre Miller and Timofey Mozgoz combined for just 8 points. READ MORE AT ESPN.COM>>>
