After Action Report
The Grizzlies buried the Nuggets 136-109. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Grizzlies' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Grizzlies owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Nuggets utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Grizzlies · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Grizzlies · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
