After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets survived the Timberwolves 121-120. The tempo dragged the Timberwolves into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Timberwolves · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
