After Action Report
In Chicago, the Nuggets squeaked past the Bulls 133-132 in overtime. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Bulls. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
