After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets squeaked past the Trail Blazers 112-109. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
