After Action Report
The Warriors outlasted the Nuggets 87-80. Warriors' offense had its way with the Nuggets. Warriors' old heads steadied the ship in the swings; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
