After Action Report
The Nuggets outlasted the Hornets 96-85. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Hornets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
