After Action Report
In Dallas, the Nuggets squeaked past the Mavericks 107-104. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Mavericks. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
