After Action Report
The Nuggets downed the SuperSonics 99-87. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; fresh off a statement win, the SuperSonics stayed locked in. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
