After Action Report
The Nuggets stunned the Raptors 108-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Raptors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
