After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Warriors 101-99. The Warriors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
