Big D from Derek
by Alex Gross

Coming up with great plays on both sides of the floor Friday night, Derek dominated his counterpart and led Los Angeles to a 104-90 win over the Denver Nuggets. 

Chauncey Billups, Denver's point guard, looked to be getting on a roll early, making his first three shots of the game. From that point forward, however, No. 2 keep Billups to 3-of-9 shooting. Fish finished with seven points, two assists, a steal and a block.

Afterward, Billups said:

“This team taught us a lesson tonight, and they beat us in every aspect.”
