After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets outlasted the Knicks 104-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
