After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 117-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
