After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets pulled away from the Kings 103-89. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Kings · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
