After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Hornets 102-99. Every possession went the Nuggets way. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
