PORTLAND -- The Portland Trail Blazers played three minutes of really good basketball Tuesday night. And against an extremely undermanned Nuggets team, those three really good minutes were enough.
After failing to get any separation for most of the first half, the Trail Blazers closed out of the second quarter with a 18-3 run that set up a 119-100 victory in front of a crowd of 17,052 Tuesday night at Moda Center.
The Trail Blazers are now 10-8 overall and 9-1 at home this season. Portland has won nine-straight at Moda Center and have not lost on their home court since their season opener versus the Kings on October 20.
