After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Hornets 132-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Hornets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Hornets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Hornets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hornets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
