Blazers:
The Blazers managed to shoot at 50% from the field. They have been knocked down a few times this season, but they’ve always found a way to bounce back and it is usually because of Damian Lillard’s brilliance. Lillard had the worst play in Game 4 with 10 points,10 assists, and 8 rebounds. CJ McCollum, Norman Powell, and Jusuf Nurkic stepped in and saved the day for the Blazers and tied the series at 2-2.
“We were able to take their punch & were able to punch back. That’s the energy & that’s what we need for the full course of the game & the series.”

Game Prediction:
The Nuggets are missing out on a few of its players like Jamal Murray but Nikola has got it all and it’s usually safe to play with the team that’s at home-court and has the best player. This game is arguably one of the hardest to predict. Both the teams have a chance to steal the show in Game 5.
