After Action Report

The Suns held off the Nuggets 100-94. Ugly basketball, but the Suns did just enough. The Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Suns' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Suns bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
