After Action Report
The Nuggets took care of the Trail Blazers 97-86. Nuggets' offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Nuggets' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; Trail Blazers' skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. Whispers of a Trail Blazers locker-room rift aren't helping. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
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 · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
