After Action Report
In Denver, the Warriors snuck past the Nuggets 101-97. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Fresh off a statement win, the Warriors stayed locked in; Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
