After Action Report
The Nuggets rolled past the Magic 116-89. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
