After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers demolished the Nuggets 111-84. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
