After Action Report

The Nuggets blew the doors off the Grizzlies 111-86. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Grizzlies utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
