After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets squeaked past the Kings 105-101. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
