After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets buried the Grizzlies 126-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.

  • 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.

  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
