After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets outlasted the Magic 117-111. The tempo dragged the Magic into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
