After Action Report

The Nuggets snuck past the Hornets 114-113. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
