After Action Report

The Wizards snuck past the Nuggets 87-86. Ugly basketball, but the Wizards did just enough. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • 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.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
