After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Nuggets 124-90. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
