After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Suns 127-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
