After Action Report

The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Timberwolves 126-88. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; Timberwolves' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Timberwolves utilization choices clashed with the team identity. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

What tipped it

  • 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.
