After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets stunned the Timberwolves 126-124. The Timberwolves had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; the Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
