After Action Report

The Grizzlies buried the Nuggets 127-81. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Grizzlies played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Grizzlies · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
