It is officially time for the regular season to begin. That could not happen though without one more preseason game, which ended in a 110-104 victory for the Denver Nuggets over the Portland Trail Blazers.
Denver opened preseason play with a victory over Portland last week, which they replicated on Thursday night in their first game at the Pepsi Center this season. With the Trail Blazers playing last night in Utah, Portland rested most of their key players.
For the Nuggets, this was there final tune up before they open the regular season next Wednesday night — October 23 — against this same Trail Blazers squad.
