After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hornets 140-114. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Hornets. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
