After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Nuggets 109-94. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; Trail Blazers' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Nuggets rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
