After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets snuck past the Jazz 106-103. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
