After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Suns 101-95. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Suns owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
