The Trail Blazers and Nuggets are locked in a 2-2 battle in the second round of the 2019 NBA Playoffs. Through four games, Denver’s defense has done an adequate job of holding Damian Lillard in check. The former Weber State standout exploded for 39 points in Game 1, but his numbers have steadily dipped since his monstrous string of performances against the Thunder.
The Ringer’s Kevin O’Connor explored what the Blazers can do to get Lillard back on track. O’Connor suggested that Portland needs to keep Paul Millsap honest on defense.
