The play Cam Johnson spent last weekend stewing over was not a missed 3-pointer, not a blunder with the ball, not anything relating to his box score.
It was, all things considered, one of the more forgettable costly moments at the end of a Nuggets loss in Portland — a foul Johnson committed as Deni Avdija drove for a layup with 54 seconds left, sending him to the line to complete an old-fashioned 3-point play. The Nuggets still led by a bucket and had the ball afterward. But two days after it happened, there hadn’t been a new game yet to erase the memory, so Johnson was still bringing it up unprompted.
