After Action Report
The Nuggets upended the Hornets 100-98. Nuggets torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
