After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Rockets 115-108. The Rockets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
