After Action Report
The Nuggets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 131-93. The tempo dragged the Trail Blazers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Nuggets' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Garbage time started early.
