After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the Raptors 130-106. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
- Raptors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
