After Action Report

The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Grizzlies 109-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Grizzlies' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
