After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets outlasted the Rockets 93-87. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
