The Nuggets handled the Heat 115-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Heat's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
