After Action Report

The Nuggets knocked off the Grizzlies 120-115. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Grizzlies. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Grizzlies · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
