The two games in the American Hockey League couldn’t have gone much better.

Strike 1: The dust has settled at Ball Arena, and the Denver Nuggets as an organization can now step back and evaluate their options while preparing for a first round playoff series with the Los Angeles Clippers. No time to waste as ownership works to identify the good, the bad and the ugly, and react accordingly.
