For the second night in a row, the Portland Trail Blazers played a spirited, often technically-proficient game, only to fall to a conference rival by a single point. Coming off of a 113-112 loss to the Los Angeles Clippers Tuesday night, the Blazers fell 106-105 to Nikola Jokic and the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday. Once again they could not stop the opponent from scoring inside in the final minutes. Once again they could not connect on the game-winning shot themselves. The loss drops the Blazers to 32-26, just half a game ahead of the 7th-place Dallas Mavericks in the race for the 2021 NBA Playoffs.
