After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Nuggets squeaked past the Suns 99-98. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
