After Action Report
In Portland, the Nuggets fended off the Trail Blazers 116-107. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nuggets' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
