After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Magic 102-96. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Magic. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
