After Action Report

The Nuggets survived the Spurs 123-121. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them.

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.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
