The Nuggets squeaked past the Suns 102-99. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
