After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets knocked off the 76ers 116-107. Nuggets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. 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.
