After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets fended off the Grizzlies 108-102. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
