After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Spurs 123-111. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
