After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets shocked the Timberwolves 124-120. Nuggets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Timberwolves owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
