After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets survived the Suns 132-128. The breakneck pace played right into Nuggets' hands. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
