After Action Report

The Nuggets took care of the Bulls 135-123. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets steamroller is in full effect right now. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
