After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Hornets 120-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · 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.
