After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Grizzlies 104-95. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
