After Action Report
The Nuggets rolled past the 76ers 119-91. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the 76ers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The 76ers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
