After Action Report

In Sacramento, the Nuggets outlasted the Kings 110-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Kings locker-room rift aren't helping. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
