After Action Report
The Kings edged the Nuggets 104-96. Kings' scorers couldn't be contained. The Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings bent the defense out of shape from deep. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
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 · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
