After Action Report
The Nuggets edged the Magic 102-95. The Magic couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Survive-and-advance type win.
