After Action Report
In Houston, the Nuggets blew the doors off the Rockets 107-75. 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. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
