After Action Report
The Trail Blazers rolled past the Nuggets 135-89. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Never a doubt in this one.

- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
