After Action Report
The Nuggets buried the Hornets 138-88. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Hornets. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
