The Portland Trail Blazers’ magical season and playoff run is on the verge of ending as they face a 3-2 series deficit against the Denver Nuggets. As Portland’s blowout loss to the Nuggets came to a close, Damian Lillard had the same message for each player (via Jason Quick of The Athletic):
“We just need to get back here,” Lillard said he repeated to each player.
“Here” means Denver, and the only way that happens is if Portland forces a Game 7 with a Game 6 win in Portland.
