Alright, that one was a painful way to start a playoff series.
The energy in the building was electric, the Denver Nuggets played to the fans well, but they didn’t have enough to match the shooting prowess of the Portland Trail Blazers in tonight’s 123-109 loss. There are good signs for Denver going forward in this series, but it never feels good to drop the first game. The Nuggets will have to correct things quickly.
Here are my five takeaways from game 1:
Nikola Jokiu0107 will have to be the best player in this series to win it
It was a very impressive scoring night from Nikola Jokiu0107 as he went for 34 points and 16 rebounds on 14-of-27 from the field.
