After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Spurs 116-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Spurs' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Spurs' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
