After Action Report
The Nuggets demolished the Trail Blazers 120-96. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
