The Nuggets survived the Jazz 102-98. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
