After Action Report
The Nuggets demolished the Rockets 126-106. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
