After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Heat 110-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Heat locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Heat · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Heat · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
