This, however, was not enough to lift Los Angeles as the Lakers lost 120-109 to the Nuggets, according to LA Times.
It was the lack of defense that kept on bugging the Lakers, who has yet to win a game in four starts, all at home.
"Basically, they averaged 30 points each quarter," Lakers coach Byron Scott said. "We're just not reacting like we need to. We've just got to continue to harp on it."
Kobe Bryant struggled from the field, connecting only four out of his 11 attempts to finish with 11 points. He also missed four of five from beyond the arc.
Scott believes the 37-year-old Bryant will be able to get his old game back as the season goes on.
"It's just a matter of time," Scott said.
The last time Clarkson churned out 30 points was when the Lakers lost to Oklahoma City Thunder, 127-117, last March.
