After Action Report
In a track meet, the Nuggets downed the Trail Blazers 116-99. Nuggets torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
