After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Mavericks 94-89. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
