The Trail Blazers pulled away from the Nuggets 133-114. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
