The Portland Trail Blazers came into Game 2 ready to take a commanding 2-0 lead, but the Denver Nuggets had other ideas. With their backs against the wall, the Nuggets came out with next level intensity on defense and were firing on all cylinders on offense. Their sheer force of will dominated the Blazers and the Nuggets took the game, 128-109, to even up the series.
Denver played an incredible first-half, scoring 73 points, and built a 12-point lead heading into halftime.
