After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets rolled past the Hornets 130-109. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
