After Action Report
The Suns held off the Nuggets 120-113. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
