After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets pulled away from the Suns 109-91. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Suns · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
