Nuggets lose to Trail Blazers: What happened to the Nuggets after building a double-digit lead?
The Nuggets looked in control. They built a double-digit lead, had momentum, and appeared ready to cruise past the Trail Blazers.
Then everything fell apart.
Denver watched a comfortable lead disappear in a frustrating 118-110 loss, raising familiar questions about depth, consistency, and late-game execution. Dover and Cecil break down what went wrong, why the Nuggets couldn't put Portland away, and whether Nikola Jokić should have been more aggressive when the game started slipping away.
The season is still young, but losses like this make Nuggets Nation wonder: is this simply an off night, or a sign of bigger issues waiting to surface?
