Throughout the playoff series against the Portland Trail Blazers, Rodney Hood gave the Denver Nuggets all the trouble they could handle. Across seven games, Hood averaged 14.7 points per game (though it felt like at least 20 at the time) while maintaining 70.9% true shooting. He shot 50% from three-point range, went to the free throw line 31 times as the third scoring option, and gave the Blazers just enough in their wins to scrape past the Nuggets through six games and get to a Game 7.
Then, you know what happened in Game 7.
