After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 128-108. Nuggets controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
