How many times have seen one fo the most dynamic back courts in the "logo" in Damian Lillard and C.J. McCollum of the Portland Trail Blazers come back from the "Logo" Dead? Well they did it again on this night as the visiting Denver Nuggets came out firing on all cylinders and was cruising until the 4th.
Behind a furious 38-26 first frame lead and a 68-53 lead at the break Mile High Basketball had the Portland Trailblazers on the ropes. It was backed by a team-high 27 points from "Fresh off the Injury Bug" Gary Harris of Michigan State Hoops who was 4 for 10 from Medford, Oregon. Nugs Utility Tool Paul Milsap added 22 points and ten boards as the Blazers had plenty of trouble slowing him down.
After the break that 2nd half comeback was ignited by the "Engineer" C.J. McCollum (game-high 33 pts on 14/21 FG) as he would come up with no time left missing the potential game-winner. McCollum's partner in crime Damian
Lillard had just 15 points on 6 for 16 from the field as the "Only Game in Town" went with McCollum as he had the hot hand.
It came down to Nikola Jokic pas to Harris from about 24-feet for the winner as Denver moves to 15-7. The Blazers fall to 13-9 as the West is racked , packed and stacked like LAX Runway 7RL heading east...all stuck together!
Rip City shot just 6 for 22 from deep as the Nugs shot nearly 5-% from the arc (14-30) a +24 points fro Denver and that was a huge story inside the story on the night.
