“He did a great job of being able to play through him in the second quarter was huge for us,” coach Jason Kidd said. “The time he was on the floor on both ends, he gave us a lift tonight”. For the Blazers, Damian Lillard scored 24 points, ending a four-game streak of at least 35 points.

Jusuf Nurkić also played well for Portland, scoring 16 points, adding six rebounds, one assist, and one steal in 22 minutes on the court. “We didn't have it,” Portland coach Chauncey Billups said. “We'll talk about why we didn't have it.

I wanted to be smart about it. We're in a tough little stretch. Got to know when to fold 'em”.

Lakers vs Nuggets

In a matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Denver Nuggets, the Lakers emerged victorious with a score of 126-108.

Lebron James had a standout game for the Lakers, scoring 30 points, nine rebounds, and four assists. “The pace changed, and the game changed,” Westbrook said. “You could see it. When we play that way, it's hard to beat us”.
