CJ netted the high score for
the Blazers

The Mile High City was bloody popping last night, pun intended, but more on that later as the Denver Nuggets were in search of the 2 – 0 series lead against the Portland Trailblazers and both teams held their own in the 1^st period, but the 2^nd painted a different picture. Speaking of painting, Nuggets guard Torrey Craig suffered a broken nose in the 2^nd period and all he saw was red from his bloody nose. He had a nose issue earlier in the season, so he already had a fitted mask which allowed him to return to the lineup and was effective. Back to the 2^nd period, as the Nuggets could only muster 12 points and the Blazers scored 10 more to take a 50 – 35 lead into the half. The Nuggets came out more aggressive in the 2^nd and their shots were falling as they were able to cut into the lead. A little skirmish ensued in the 4^th as Enes Kanter, from a push from Nikola Jokic, bumped into Craig and his cracked nose and Kanter and Jamal Murray had to be separated and both were issued double technical. But at the end of the day, the Blazers behind CJ McCollum’s 20 points,  Kanter’s 15 and 9 rebounds and 33 bench points, the Blazers even up the series 1 – 1 against the Nuggets with 97 – 90 victory.
