After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Hornets 134-126 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Hornets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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.
