After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Mavericks 105-101. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Mavericks stayed locked in; the Mavericks bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Mavericks' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
