After Action Report

The Nuggets took care of the Kings 88-72. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Kings' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.

  • Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
