After Action Report
In Washington, the Nuggets knocked off the Wizards 131-130 in overtime. The Wizards had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Wizards; fresh off a statement win, the Wizards stayed locked in. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
