After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Rockets 113-99. The tempo dragged the Rockets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Rockets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
