After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets took care of the Mavericks 120-104. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Mavericks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Mavericks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
