After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Rockets 124-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Rockets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
