The Nuggets squeaked past the Mavericks 123-121. Nuggets' scorers couldn't be contained. The Nuggets ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Mavericks utilization choices clashed with the team identity.
