After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets demolished the Mavericks 137-95. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Mavericks are in a full-on tailspin. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
