After Action Report
The Mavericks snuck past the Nuggets 98-93. Ugly basketball, but the Mavericks did just enough. The Mavericks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
