After Action Report
In Dallas, the Nuggets squeaked past the Mavericks 109-104. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
