After Action Report
In Denver, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Nuggets 132-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
