After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets handled the Trail Blazers 112-93. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
