After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets demolished the Mavericks 114-86. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
