After Action Report

The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Jazz 133-88. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
