After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets survived the Rockets 100-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
