The Nuggets outlasted the Knicks 125-111. The Knicks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Knicks' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
