After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Mavericks 119-105. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Mavericks pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
