The Portland Trail Blazers began 2019 in dramatic fashion on Tuesday, winning an overtime thriller against the Kings in Sacramento 113-108 behind a stunning performance from Jusuf Nurkiu0107. Continuing his streak of dominance over the past two weeks, Nurk notched what is likely the best game of his career so far, scoring 24 points, snagging 23 rebounds, dishing out 7 assists, to complement 5 blocks and 5 steals, the only player to post that stat line in the history of the National Basketball Association.
It’s not uncommon for some to be sluggish on New Years Day, and tonight’s Trail Blazers visit to Golden1 Center to face the Sacramento Kings was no exception.
