After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Spurs 101-97. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
