After Action Report

The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hornets 117-92. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Hornets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
