After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Jazz 87-84. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
