After Action Report
In New Orleans, the Hornets handled the Nuggets 104-90. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Hornets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
