After Action Report
The Nuggets downed the Mavericks 104-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
