After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets survived the Rockets 108-104. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Nuggets' 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
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
