After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Grizzlies 117-116. Nuggets torched the Grizzlies on the offensive end. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Grizzlies locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Grizzlies · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
