After Action Report
The Nuggets shocked the Raptors 113-105. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Raptors owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
