After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets fended off the Rockets 104-95. Every possession went the Nuggets way. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
