After Action Report
The Nuggets edged the Trail Blazers 108-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Nuggets bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
