After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets demolished the Trail Blazers 134-91. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
