After Action Report

The Nuggets handled the Hornets 126-110. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. The Hornets 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 · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
