After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the 76ers 96-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; 76ers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. 76ers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- 76ers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 76ers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
