After Action Report
The Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Nuggets 111-89. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Nuggets looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Nuggets · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
