After Action Report

In a track meet, the Nuggets fended off the Warriors 111-102. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Warriors · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
