After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Raptors 93-91. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Tonight's Raptors utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
