After Action Report

The Nuggets blew the doors off the Pistons 133-97. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. Garbage time started early.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
