After Action Report
In New York, the Nuggets held off the Knicks 98-90. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Knicks answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
