After Action Report
The Nuggets downed the Timberwolves 116-106. The Nuggets won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. The Nuggets pushed the pace until the other side broke; Timberwolves' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
