As the Denver Nuggets have begun trending back in the right direction as a franchise, one of the ways they have improved is by becoming a better rebounding team. I detailed the importance of defensive rebounding before the season, even hypothesizing that the Nuggets may regress this year as a rebounding team but improve in defensive rating due to the addition of Paul Millsap. Both points have been marginally true, but as the season has worn on, the rebounding numbers have worsened.
