After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 110-87. Ugly basketball, but the Nuggets did just enough. The Nuggets came in with something to prove after a loss; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Nuggets per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
