After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Jazz 100-97. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
