After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Nuggets 93-90. The Nuggets couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. The Trail Blazers came in with something to prove after a loss; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. The Trail Blazers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
