After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets demolished the 76ers 108-82. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
