After Action Report
The Trail Blazers squeaked past the Nuggets 121-119. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers bent the defense out of shape from deep; Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
