CLEVELAND – About 10 minutes after the Nuggets knocked off the Cavaliers, a loud, annoying chant came seeping out of the victorious locker room.
“Mike, Mike, Mike,” the Nuggets’ players repeated in an adoring yet teasing fashion. Paying homage to the movie “Finding Nemo,” Denver’s players have started repeating the call each time Michael Porter Jr. has a strong night.
“I don’t know when it came back, but it just started coming back,” Porter said. “It’s dope.”
Porter’s teammates were razzing him after he scored a team-high 25 points on six 3-pointers in Denver’s rousing 115-109 win over the Cavaliers on Thursday.
