After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Bulls 95-81. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Bulls couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
