After Action Report
The Heat outlasted the Nuggets 115-107. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Heat. Heat's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Heat · 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.
