After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Nuggets 108-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
