After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets blew the doors off the Rockets 120-100. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
