After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Rockets 104-100. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat; Rockets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. 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.
