After Action Report

In Houston, the Nuggets buried the Rockets 107-79. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Rockets · 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.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
