After Action Report
The Nuggets rolled past the Knicks 108-87. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
