After Action Report

The Nuggets fended off the Jazz 118-109. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
