After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Heat 102-88. The Heat couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Heat's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
