After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Nuggets 106-105. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Trail Blazers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
