PORTLAND, Ore. – Blazers guard Seth Curry said he was surprised Nuggets veteran Will Barton wasn’t ejected following a review of their fourth-quarter Game 6 scuffle that earned four players technical fouls.
“Surprising, but it is what it is,” Curry said after the Blazers survived an elimination game and forced the Western Conference semifinals series back to Denver for Sunday’s Game 7.
Barton, who said the scuffle started when Blazers center Zach Collins fell into his knee at the 6:16 mark of the fourth quarter, said he was trying to protect himself before pushing Curry.
