After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets squeaked past the Mavericks 115-110. The tempo dragged the Mavericks into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
