After Action Report
The Nuggets held off the Timberwolves 106-100. The Timberwolves couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Timberwolves rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
