After Action Report

The Nuggets squeaked past the Trail Blazers 113-108. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Nuggets owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Nuggets · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
