A more in-depth recap of the Nuggets player performances from the 112-94 victory over the Bulls on Thursday night.
The Denver Nuggets easily handled the Chicago Bulls on Thursday, 112-94 in a game in which both sets of starters played limited minutes. The Nuggets bench took over the game in a 37-point second quarter explosion, while the Bulls found that these Nuggets play defense out to the three-point line and took away many of the open looks that the Bulls were feasting on in their opening game. Chicago started slowly in that game as well but were too far behind in the second half in Boulder to contemplate a serious run.
