The Denver Nuggets snapped the Portland Trail Blazers’ 4-game winning streak on Tuesday night, with an excellent display of team basketball.
Nikola Jokic, who was one assist shy of a triple-double, led all scorers with 29 points (plus 13 rebounds and 9 assists), with Jamal Murray adding 20 points and six assists.
From the Blazers, who were down by 26 at halftime (38-66), Lillard’s 21 points and McCollum’s 20 were not enough to compete with the Nuggets.
