After Action Report

The Nuggets demolished the SuperSonics 114-89. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. SuperSonics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
