After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Magic 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
