After Action Report

The Nuggets fended off the Jazz 105-99. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Survive-and-advance type win.
