After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Grizzlies 103-98. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
