Paul Millsap hits a double-double but was all praise for the Denver Nuggets defence after their victory over the LA Lakers.

A dunk over JaVale McGee, a smooth jump shot over LeBron James and a tough finish through contact with Tyson Chandler helped set the Nuggets up for a record 32-point victory over the Lakers.

Millsap was equally impressive at the other end, emphatically swatting away a Brandon Ingram attempt just before the interval.
