After Action Report
In Denver, the Nuggets ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 124-104. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Nuggets cashed in. The Nuggets answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Garbage time started early.
