After Action Report

The Nuggets shocked the Trail Blazers 105-94. The Nuggets got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets are in a full-on tailspin; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 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.
