After Action Report

The Nuggets took care of the Wizards 113-102. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Wizards' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Wizards looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Wizards 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.
  • Wizards · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Wizards · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
