After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets took care of the Mavericks 133-118. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.

What tipped it

  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Mavericks · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Mavericks · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
