After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Grizzlies 116-112 in overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Grizzlies' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
