After Action Report
The Nuggets demolished the Trail Blazers 154-104. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Nuggets. The Nuggets locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.
