After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets squeaked past the Hornets 102-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Hornets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
