After Action Report
In a track meet, the Kings fended off the Nuggets 113-104. The breakneck pace played right into Kings' hands. The Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
