After Action Report
The Nets squeaked past the Nuggets 89-84. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nets. Nets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
