After Action Report
The Rockets took care of the Nuggets 110-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
