After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Suns 139-109. Nuggets torched the Suns on the offensive end. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
