After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Wizards 118-99. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
