Michael Porter Jr.’s big night helps Nuggets advance in NBA Playoffs

Michael Porter, Jr. and the Denver Nuggets have advanced to the second round in the NBA Playoffs. In a 126-115 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, and #MizzouMade MPJ was a huge contributor, scoring 26 points on 10-19 shooting (6-12 from three), with five defensive rebounds and four assists in 33 minutes. While he did cool off in the second half and didn’t take as many shots - instead deferring to his teammates - his first quarter/half performance can’t be ignored.

He got a lot of social media reaction as well. He quite literally couldn’t miss.

Damian Lillard set an NBA playoff record with 12 3-pointers last game.
