After Action Report

The Nuggets took care of the Pistons 109-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Pistons' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Pistons · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Pistons · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
