After Action Report
The Nuggets edged the Jazz 97-89. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
