After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Bulls 115-109. Nuggets torched the Bulls on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Bulls locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Bulls · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
