After Action Report
The Nuggets buried the Suns 118-90. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. Tonight's Suns utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
