After Action Report
The Nuggets downed the Jazz 117-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
