After Action Report
In Seattle, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the SuperSonics 121-93. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The SuperSonics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- SuperSonics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- SuperSonics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
