After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets squeaked past the Grizzlies 104-100. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Grizzlies 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 · 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.
