After Action Report
In Denver, the Hornets stunned the Nuggets 119-117. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
