After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Bulls 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
