After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Rockets 115-108. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Rockets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
