After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Pistons 99-83. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Pistons owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
