After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Pistons 98-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Pistons. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
