The Trail Blazers suffered their fifth loss in six games on Wednesday after the Nuggets managed to hang on to a 106-105 victory. Despite having a double-digit lead at one point, Portland’s offense and defense lost steam in the final moments of the game.
After Wednesday’s result, NBC Sports Northwest’s Jamie Hudson highlighted Damian Lillard’s comments on the Blazers’ fluctuating intensity.
“We build a 10-point lead or an eight-point lead and then we feel like we got room, and we just relax, and you can see it and you can feel it sometimes,” Lillard added.
