After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Rockets 140-121. Nuggets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
