After Action Report
The Nuggets edged the Trail Blazers 109-100. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Nuggets carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
