After Action Report
The Nuggets demolished the Hornets 124-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.

- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
