After Action Report
The Nuggets knocked off the Mavericks 127-96. The Mavericks had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
