After Action Report

The Nuggets upended the Mavericks 109-107. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; the Mavericks owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
