After Action Report
The Trail Blazers ran roughshod over the Nuggets 122-102. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Trail Blazers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
