Home cooking: The Nuggets were loose at Saturday’s practice, which ended with both a 3-point shooting contest and an impromptu dunk off. There is comfort in knowing a Game 7 is in front of a friendly crowd, which boosted the Nuggets to an NBA-best 34-7 record at home this season. In the three games at the Pepsi Center in this series, the Nuggets have five guys averaging double-figures, led by Nikola Jokic’s 26 points per game; the Blazers have four behind Damian Lillard’s 25 points per night. The other marked difference is on the glass, where the Nuggets have enjoyed a 51-43 edge over the three games in Denver.
