After Action Report
In a track meet, the Trail Blazers blew the doors off the Nuggets 139-102. The Nuggets had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
