After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Trail Blazers 120-115. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
