After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Timberwolves 117-113. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
