After Action Report
The Nuggets handled the Jazz 119-109. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
