Game 6 between the Denver Nuggets and the Portland Trail Blazers got started with a 3-point makes from the hands of Norman Powell and Michael Porter Jr. in the first 50 seconds of the game. C.J. McCollum hit a mid-range jumper right after. Powell forced a miss out of Porter, but that didn’t stop him from hitting a triple following a miss from McCollum that had Denver leading 6-5 after two minutes.
Nikola Jokic was called for an offensive foul on Jusuf Nurkic, and McCollum got the lead back for Portland with a floater that Austin Rivers quickly answered.
