After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Warriors 117-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Warriors · 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.
