Michael Porter Jr. took full responsibility for his lackluster Game 4 showing and vowed Tuesday night would be different.
The Nuggets’ second-year forward has seen his shot attempts slide from 21, to 13, to 11 to just three in Saturday’s Game 4. Part of it was Norman Powell’s smothering defense, but a fair amount was Porter himself. He got bumped off his spots, didn’t help himself on the glass and rarely made himself available within the flow of the offense.
“It’s on us as a team, but a lot of it’s on me as well,” Porter said.
