After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Trail Blazers 98-88. The Trail Blazers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Nuggets. The Nuggets played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
