After Action Report
The Trail Blazers knocked off the Nuggets 106-98. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin; Nuggets' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
