After Action Report
The Nuggets stunned the Wizards 91-85. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; Wizards' shot-blockers turned the paint into a no-fly zone. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
