After Action Report
The Pistons handled the Nuggets 120-102. The breakneck pace played right into Pistons' hands. The Pistons pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Pistons' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
