After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets survived the Mavericks 131-130. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Mavericks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
