After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Magic 121-113 in overtime. The Magic had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Magic · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Magic · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Magic · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
