After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Hornets 97-85. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Hornets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Hornets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
