After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets buried the Wizards 165-97. The tempo dragged the Wizards into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
