After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Rockets 128-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Rockets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
