After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers upended the Nuggets 119-116. The breakneck pace played right into Trail Blazers' hands. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Nuggets · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Nuggets · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
