In a track meet, the Nuggets rolled past the Magic 129-103. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. 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. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
