After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Warriors 103-87. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Shots just aren't falling for the Nuggets lately; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Warriors rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
