The Trail Blazers secured a thrilling 113-108 victory over the Kings to capture their third win in four games. Jusuf Nurkic recorded an eye-popping 24-point, 23-rebound double-double to lead Portland past Sacramento. While Nurkic carried the load for the majority of the game, it was Damian Lillard’s late-game push that proved to be too much for the Kings to overcome in overtime. The Blazers led for long stretches of the contest, but a heroic performance from Bogdan Bogdanovic nearly foiled the victory.
