After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets survived the Clippers 113-110. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Clippers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
