The Nuggets handled the Suns 132-118. The tempo dragged the Suns into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; the Suns bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
