After Action Report

The Nuggets survived the Nets 89-87. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the Nets. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Nets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
