After Action Report
The Trail Blazers buried the Nuggets 129-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Nuggets' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Garbage time started early.
