After Action Report
In Denver, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Nuggets 135-110. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Trail Blazers' outside barrage was a constant threat. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
