After Action Report

The Nuggets survived the Mavericks 103-99. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Mavericks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
