After Action Report
In Dallas, the Nuggets snuck past the Mavericks 106-105. The Mavericks couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
