After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets fended off the Pistons 123-117. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
