After Action Report
In a track meet, the Warriors outlasted the Nuggets 109-98. Warriors controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Warriors played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- 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 · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
