After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Rockets 105-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; shots just aren't falling for the Rockets lately. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it
- Rockets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
