After Action Report
In Denver, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Nuggets 114-87. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
