After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets stunned the Grizzlies 123-122. The tempo dragged the Grizzlies into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
