After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets took care of the Jazz 100-84. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
