After Action Report

The Nuggets blew the doors off the Spurs 125-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Nuggets; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
