After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets pulled away from the Hornets 109-95. Every possession went the Nuggets way. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Hornets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- 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.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
