After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Timberwolves 96-93. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Timberwolves' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Style points be damned.
