After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Rockets 121-116. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Rockets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
