The Nuggets handled the Hornets 115-105. Nuggets torched the Hornets on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
