After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Rockets 113-105. Every possession went the Nuggets way. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Rockets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
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.
