The Nuggets shot 58.9% from the field and made 14 three-pointers, controlling the glass with 52 rebounds and 31 assists to fuel an offensive rating of 133.0. Memphis countered with Corey Coward's 27 points and T. Hendricks' 16, but the Grizzlies' 45.7% shooting and 38 rebounds proved insufficient against Denver's efficiency. The decisive third quarter saw Denver outscore Memphis 39–22, a 17-point swing that effectively ended the contest; the teams combined for 255 points, well above the 247.5 Vegas total. Denver's defensive rating of 121.3 stifled Memphis's offensive rhythm, while the Nuggets' 12 turnovers remained manageable. This win reinforces Denver's playoff positioning and depth heading into the final stretch.
