The Denver Nuggets decided to go with rest instead of chasing a victory tonight against the Portland Trail Blazers and almost ended up stealing a win anyways. Gary Harris and Trey Lyles had big nights for Denver but Damian Lillard and the rest of the Blazers proved to be too much in the end and got the win. Nuggets keep the Blazers hope for the three seed alive, and now put the pressure on themselves to keep the two seed. Portland gets the victory, 117-108.
Harris started off hot, knocking down a three, getting to the rim, drawing fouls and finishing in traffic.
