After Action Report
The Nuggets pulled away from the Trail Blazers 118-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
