After Action Report
The Warriors outlasted the Nuggets 87-81. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. The Warriors couldn't shake the cold spell; Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Warriors rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Warriors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
