After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets snuck past the Knicks 102-97. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Knicks looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
