After Action Report

In Philadelphia, the 76ers squeaked past the Nuggets 105-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. The 76ers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

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.
