After Action Report

The Nuggets rolled past the 76ers 133-101. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
