The Denver Nuggets weathered the storm in a big win over the Portland Trail Blazers, their ninth in a row. Nikola Jokic had 35 points, 14 rebounds, 13 assists, 5 steals, and 2 blocks. Aaron Gordon made clutch plays. The Nuggets locked in defensively when it mattered, and they executed on both ends of the floor down the stretch to erase a double digit deficit.
On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Denver Nuggets 137-132 OT win over the Portland Trail Blazers in which Aaron Gordon and Cam Johnson made big plays late. Nikola Jokic put up crazy numbers, and Ryan discusses how numb he’s grown to Jokic’s insane play. He also shares why a double-digit win streak would matter for this group.
