Los Angeles Lakers vs Denver Nuggets Full Game Highlights – July 18, 2025 | NBA Summer League

and his three games so far. He’s had about five points per game. The finale of the night from the Thomas and Mack and the last game of summer league for the Lakers. Off the screen, DJ Stewart. No, here come the Nuggets. Three on three. Great rotation to get back for Los Angeles. And it leads to a Donovan Williams bucket and no Ronnie James. No. Dalton connects who’s been a story for the Lakers since summer league both in California and in Las Vegas. Settles out to Stewart back of the rim and off. And here are the Nuggets in transition. Acrobatic Jones could score. He led Iowa State in scoring despite only starting nine games. Bates with the flick of the wrist. That’s the reason why they’re up 9-3 early on. Pro teams want their second win in summer league. Slider scorer. Both teams did take the court yesterday. Part of the reason why you see a lot of the inactives in the game today. Swider leaner. Oh yeah. To get through that screen. I mean, he’s coming off really tight. Is able to get a nice little shot in the mid-range area. Reese Beakman tiptoes the baseline and sneaks it past to Loco. Good pace to the run early on. 139 Nuggets. Davis. No, but he picks him up. Dancing around the screen. He could put up numbers in North Carolina. Koko gets the block shot that time. So some revenge for getting scored on a possession ago. Taylor like a freight train. Leaves the corner. That’s another one in Las Vegas. Five for five to start this game. That’s a gorgeous spin move from Bates. Lakers trailing by one. A lot of on ball reps for Schwider, but the absences for the Lakers and Ree count it and one two or three in this game. Off to a great start in high volume attempts here at Summerly. He’s also placed a real emphasis on the defensive end of the court, making the right rotations, using his defensive instincts to his advantage. Played for the Heat, played for the Pistons, played for Toronto, and he’s had a previous stint with the Lakers from downtown. Curtis Jones. All right, welcome back, Tamar. A pretty even first quarter. What did you like about that first 10 minutes? Um, I I like the way that we were moving the ball. Um, played good team defense. They made some tough shots, but uh feel like we cleaned the glass pretty well. Didn’t give up too many old boards. So, I like the energy we playing with. You came in here undrafted, so this is a showcase for you. How has your game progressed with this summer league experience? I mean, I’ve just been allowed to come out here and play my game. Um make mistakes and play through them. So, I mean, I’m just grateful for the organization for allowing me to to have a platform to continue to develop. Appreciate the time. Thank you. Off the jump ball. Three. way off and the Lakers on the run. Davis fires to the corner. Three goes T Y Johnson hit it for a wide open three in the corner. Jones a lot of dribbling. Davis in his way. Gets it back and sneaks it in. Back and forth in the first quarter. Davis. Oh yeah, the giant killer teammate of Derek Queen. Bad news for Queen will be evaluated in 12 weeks with the injury and bad news of course for the Pelicans. Wrath bounce pass in the lane and Baji Booms. That’s a great play. Got to always make those guys happy. Johnson was open initially, turned it down, hesitation, then the acceleration. Different types of paces his whole career. Luca is one of the best guards that plays at different types of paces. That’s a put back jam right there. But Joic, widely regarded right at the top of the NBA. Reese loses. Bounce pass. Williams on the follow. Rice turns it over out of the stoppage. Williams waits for it through the reach. No whistle. He wanted one. Floaters and versatility that you need when it comes to that shot to be effective in the paint as a guard. Lakers nuggets. Final game of the Thomas Max Center here at tonight’s slider hunting. Beman flings hardrove there. thunders it through and a foul. Spotting up and Menga decided to turn down the three. Instead, it’s worked to Taylor. Nothing but net from the three-point line. The ball movement, body movement, and execution and attention to detail on every play. That’s right on Q. Donovan Williams averaging 11 points per game coming in. fifth year since I watch Spider right now. Well, he wants it. Layers to the top of the arc. Instead, it’s Taylor with the rainbow with a pot of gold on the other end. You know, that’s what makes Steph Clay Thompson guys like them hard to guard because you’re so worried about where they’re at on the court. The gravity and it comes from hitting threes like that. The performer. So what could have been a tragic story, his work ethic turned it into a positive one. Williams gets it to the lane, puts it in off the glass and one because your teammate stole your own rebound, right? Yeah. Stewart dimes, Taylor fires, puts it through. It’s best scoring game so far in Las Vegas. Nuggets again on the run. settles it. Curtis Jones passes a three. That right there. Curtis Jones did a good job of shooting that three in transition, knocking it down. When did that start to turn? I imagine your rookie year that probably was a bad shot. Lighter count it and one. Great job to the right. Arrow’s energy has been so great right now for Denver Nuggets that thrives with Luca. I think so because Luca does a great job of playing with bigs that can if he’s able to be up for it and the challenges that he’s faced during his time in Portland, but when you play with a guy like LeBron, his leadership is going to be contagious. Hey, thank you. Thank you. You know, they bring it all together and they left off right from where they started from the last or this past season. They have a bunch of draft picks still to come in future years, right? But they they do a great job of developing their young players to to have impactful minutes during the course of the game. I mean, contract extensions, finalize those with homegr in Jub City and in the future with those draft picks incoming. Yeah, just talked to Denver about what it’s like to try to follow up the championship, but people assume that you’ll get right back for Tyrese and the Pacers after having such a a great run to get to the finals. I’m sure they’ll be back again creating that parody where it’s not just one main player for just one market, right? Before it was just, okay, the best players play in the best market and now you got guys like Anthony Edwards playing in Minnesota, right? Guy Williams in New Orleans. Denver starting to get that separation. Lakers trying to fight back. Down 11, just under six left. Tough finish inside. Beman off the rim. bounces back out to Johnson off the back of the iron. Here come the Lakers. See if the Lakers can make one more push right now. In 2024, Jerry West award winner is a top shooting guard in the nation. A three-point shooter at UNC. Imu Baji and stood tall. Gordon slided. There’s J again all alone Williams to give his team the two points. It’s all you want to see as a young player is impact and winning. Curtis Jones makes another three. K a though of an obstacle. Ko Dichi Akabundu Aoku. Now you see the name. Williams three shorts for the Nuggets playing without Cutter Tyson. Don Holmes, Logan Johnson, EJ Liddell, and others. But they did have Curtis Jones in his 22 points. One of five players in double figures scoring for the Nuggets. And they cruise.
