After Action Report
The Nuggets snuck past the Bulls 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. Fresh off a statement win, the Nuggets stayed locked in; Bulls' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
