After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Suns 116-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Suns' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
