After the Trail Blazers and Nuggets split the first two games of the Western Conference Semifinals in Denver, the series now shifts to Portland for the next two contests starting with Game 3 Friday night at the Moda Center.
“They say the series starts when someone wins a game on the road and we were able to do that (Wednesday night), so our goal is to just take it one game at a time and protect our home floor," said Trail Blazers point guard Damian Lillard. "We have two games on our home floor and we have to be just as sharp, if not better because you know they are going to come back better.
