After Action Report
The Nuggets blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 118-87. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Nuggets' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Trail Blazers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
