After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Hornets 93-88. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Hornets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
