After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Nuggets 105-103. Trail Blazers' offense had its way with the Nuggets. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
