The 2014-15 Lakers made their first on-court impression on Monday, opening the preseason with a 98-95 win over the Denver Nuggets.

Kobe Bryant looked comfortable on the floor, contributing to the Lakers' first 13 points, hitting three baskets while dishing three assists just 4 1/2 minutes into the game.

Nash was sharp offensively, giving the Lakers a dynamic backcourt with Bryant.
