After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets demolished the Magic 128-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Magic looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Magic · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
