After Action Report
In Golden State, the Nuggets handled the Warriors 98-88. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Warriors locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Warriors · 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.
