After Action Report
The Nuggets survived the Trail Blazers 93-91. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Trail Blazers' 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.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
