After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Nuggets downed the Hornets 118-102. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
