After Action Report

The Nuggets outlasted the Kings 116-109. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Kings' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
