After Action Report

The Nuggets squeaked past the Mavericks 106-103. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.

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.
  • Mavericks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
