Ham did not reveal whether there would be a lineup change for Game 2 on Thursday night. Ham, the first-year coach, never has shown his hand in advance all season and wasn't about to start now. The Nuggets out-rebounded the Lakers 22-6 in the first quarter, a sign of things to come as the Lakers lost the battle for boards 47-30. Davis said the Lakers know there are adjustments that could be made, "and that includes our roster." "My message to D'Angelo is to continue with the positive energy, continue to enjoy the game," Ham said.
