After Action Report
In Denver, the Hornets squeaked past the Nuggets 101-100. The breakneck pace played right into Hornets' hands. Hornets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
