After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Mavericks 108-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Mavericks locker-room rift aren't helping. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Mavericks · 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.
