After Action Report

In Memphis, the Nuggets rolled past the Grizzlies 127-83. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Grizzlies · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • 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.
