After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets edged the Knicks 96-89. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Knicks' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. The Knicks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
