The Portland Trail Blazers snatched home-court advantage away from the Denver Nuggets in Game 1, but Game 2’s abysmal performance shifted the momentum in the series as both squads head to Portland.
Following the Blazers’ double-digit loss on Monday, The Oregonian’s Aaron Fentress highlighted comments from coach Terry Stotts. Coach Stotts explained that Portland’s effort did not match Denver’s output in Game 2.
“They played much better and they deserved to win the game,” Portland coach Terry Stotts said. “We can point to a lot of different things but they outplayed us from top to bottom.
