After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets outlasted the Timberwolves 101-89. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. 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.
