After Action Report

The Nuggets squeaked past the Bulls 116-114 in overtime. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
