LeBron and AD lift Lakers over Nuggets in overtime

LeBron James posted a triple-double and Anthony Davis scored seven of his 33 points in overtime to push the Los Angeles Lakers past the Denver Nuggets 120-116 Wednesday night. James had 32 points, 14 assists and 12 rebounds for his 12th triple-double of the season as the Lakers headed into the All-Star break with a four-game lead over second-place Denver in the Western Conference.

The Lakers improved their NBA-best road record to 23-5.

Jamal Murray led the Nuggets with 33 points, but All-Star Nikola Jokic was in foul trouble and made some crucial blunders in the extra period, including a turnover on a bad pass with 19 seconds left after he passed up an open 3-pointer with Denver down 119-116.

Jokic finished with 22 points and 11 rebounds for Denver, which saw its four-game winning streak snapped.

James missed a fadeaway 15-footer at the buzzer, sending the game into overtime.
