After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Nuggets survived the Suns 99-98. Every possession went the Nuggets way. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
