After Action Report
The Nuggets fended off the Timberwolves 104-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
