After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Pistons 111-102. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Pistons locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Pistons · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
