After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Mavericks 104-85. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Mavericks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it

- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Mavericks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
