After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hornets 119-95. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Hornets locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
