After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hornets 128-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
