After Action Report
The Jazz edged the Nuggets 97-90. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
