After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets survived the Mavericks 92-90. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep; Mavericks' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Mavericks · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
