After Action Report
The Trail Blazers demolished the Nuggets 133-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
