After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Rockets 99-91. The better team simply showed up tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Rockets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
