After Action Report
In a track meet, the Warriors ran roughshod over the Nuggets 126-101. The breakneck pace played right into Warriors' hands. Warriors' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Warriors' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
