After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Mavericks 124-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
