DENVER -- The Trail Blazers have a long way to go to reach their ultimate goal in the postseason, but they got their journey off to an excellent start Saturday night in Denver.
Six Trail Blazers scored in double figures and both Damian Lillard and Jusuf Nurkic finished with double-doubles to lift Portland to a 123-109 victory versus the Denver Nuggets in Game 1 of the three-six Western Conference first round series in front of a crowd of 7,732 Saturday night at Ball Arena.
“It’s good to get that first win in a playoff series,” said Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts.
