After Action Report
The Trail Blazers downed the Nuggets 99-81. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
