In the Denver Nuggets win over the Portland Trail Blazers, the story of the game was Nikola Jokiu0107, scoring 41 points, carrying Denver’s offense until it righted itself in the fourth quarter, and adding another game to his MVP case. If it wasn’t Jokiu0107, it was Jamal Murray, who celebrated his 24th birthday with 24 points, including 19 in the fourth quarter and outpacing Damian Lillard and Dame Time with a Murray Flurry of his own. If it wasn’t Murray, it was Michael Porter Jr., who played 40 minutes, starting at power forward and putting together a double-double with a strong defensive performance of his own.
