After Action Report

In Denver, the Nuggets pulled away from the Warriors 106-93. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
