After Action Report
In Denver, the Trail Blazers rolled past the Nuggets 122-100. The Trail Blazers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Nuggets couldn't shake the cold spell; Nuggets' outside barrage was a constant threat. Whispers of a Nuggets locker-room rift aren't helping. Trail Blazers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Nuggets · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Nuggets · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
