After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Trail Blazers 142-125. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
