The Portland Trail Blazers recorded their third win in their first four balloon games at Disney World, winning 125:115 (27:26, 35:23, 30:38, 33:28) over the Denver Nuggets. Blazers star Damien Lillard played one of his strongest games of the season and was relentless both in his long-distance shooting and in his breakthroughs to find his teammates in clear positions. Lillard finished the game with 45 points, 12 assists and 3 steals, scoring 13 of 21 shots from the floor and leveling his personal record for a successful three-pointer after finding the rainbow net 11 times out of 18 attempts. The scorer joined the elite company of Steph Curry and Clay Thompson as the only three players with 11 three-pointers in more than one match.
With the important victory, Portland is now only 0. 5 wins away from the eighth in the Western Conference standings Memphis Grizzlies, which is more than labile and it will not be surprising if the Blazers do not pass them tomorrow.
Apart from Lillard, the other main actor for the Blazers was the great Gary Trent Jr. , who was again hot-handed and scored 27 points, including 7 three-pointers. Youssef Nurkic scored 22 points and 7 rebounds, while CJ McCulum remained with 13 points, 6 steals and 6 assists. Denver`s new star Michael Porter Jr. finished with 27 points and 12 rebounds, Jeremy Grant added 18 points, Mason Plumley scored 13/7/5, and PJ Douger and Tori Craig also had 13 points each. Nikola Jokic finished the game analyzed by contact soccer tips with 13 assists and 8 points in just 24 minutes of play, and apparently the coaching staff decided to save his strength for the most important part of the season.
