After Action Report
In Sacramento, the Nuggets took care of the Kings 103-90. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
