After Action Report
The Suns fended off the Nuggets 119-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Suns cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Suns; the Suns carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Suns · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
