The old adage is “live by the three, die by the three.” Throughout the playoffs, the Denver Nuggets have certainly followed that cliché. As a result of their impressive shooting performance in Game 4, the Nuggets have now connected on 39.5 percent from beyond the arc in six playoff wins. In five losses, that number drops down to just 31.6 percent. It was more of the same in Portland on Sunday as Denver tied the series up at 2-2 behind some elite 3-point shooting.
In a virtual must-win Game 4, the Nuggets were locked in and connected on 44 percent from three.
