After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Hornets 93-89. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
