After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Suns 112-108. Nuggets' starting five clicked while the Suns looked disjointed. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Nuggets 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
