After Action Report
The Nuggets buried the Rockets 118-87. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Rockets. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
