After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nuggets edged the Kings 105-97. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; shots just aren't falling for the Kings lately. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
