After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets squeaked past the Warriors 101-96. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
