After Action Report
The Nuggets squeaked past the Rockets 101-97. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Rockets owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Whispers of a Rockets locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
