After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets knocked off the Hornets 109-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Hornets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Hornets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
