DENVER, Jan. 1 (UPI) -- Danilo Gallinari pumped in 20 points and keyed an 11-0 run at the end of the game that carried Denver past the Los Angeles Lakers 99-90.

Trailing 90-88 with 2 minutes left, Denver got a basket from Andre Miller to tie it and Gallinari then put the Nuggets ahead for good with a dunk.
