After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Pistons 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Pistons · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
