Blazers:
Lillard and McCollum combined to put up 59 points, although it still wasn’t enough to overcome a hot shooting of the Nuggets team. But the defense should be Portland’s main priority going into Game 4. The Blazers allowed the Nuggets to score 39 points in the 1st quarter, and 36 in the 4th quarter and that’s just not going to help them get done in the playoffs.Â
Norman scored 18 points while Nurkic scored 13 points. On the other hand, Robert Covington had a tough night with only 6 points.
Predicted lineup:
- Norman Powell – Forward
- Robert Covington – Forward
- Jusuf Nurkic – Center
- Cj McCollum – Guard
- Damian Lillard – Guard
