After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Mavericks 96-94. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · 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.
- Mavericks · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
