Join Danny Marang and Brandon Sprague as they take a look at Sunday night’s game between the Portland Trail Blazers and Denver Nuggets that saw the Blazers fall 124-92.
All in all, it was a very similar tale to previous outings with the starting unit setting the tone: getting out in transition and playing a revved up version of the new Blazers. However, their shooting waned (even from Anfernee Simons) and with ZERO margin for error, the veteran Nuggets picked apart Portland possession by possession.
Without Jusuf Nurkic to anchor the middle the size of the Nuggets was often too much to overcome.
