After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Wizards 106-104. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Wizards locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
