After Action Report
The Nuggets knocked off the 76ers 109-85. The better team simply showed up tonight. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the 76ers. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
