"Rough air couldn't be blamed for a few bumpy moments on the Lakers' flight back from Denver late Sunday night.

They came courtesy of the replay of the Lakers' 99-90 loss to the Denver Nuggets that Kobe Bryant watched with Coach Mike Brown. What galled them wasn't Bryant's six-for-28 shooting performance as much as the Lakers' inability to stop the Nuggets from scoring easy baskets in transition off missed shots, particularly late in the game."
