After Action Report

The Nuggets downed the Wizards 99-80. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.
