After Action Report
The Nuggets rolled past the Grizzlies 119-96. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Grizzlies. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Grizzlies couldn't shake the cold spell. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
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.
