After Action Report

The Nuggets survived the Spurs 102-98. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
