After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Magic 119-116. Nuggets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
