After Action Report

The Nuggets survived the Suns 109-106. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

  • 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).
