After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets buried the Wizards 165-97. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
