After Action Report
In Phoenix, the Nuggets handled the Suns 99-88. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. The Suns rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
