After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets held off the Hornets 117-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
