After Action Report

The Nuggets took care of the Timberwolves 131-119. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

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.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
