DENVER — Michael Porter Jr. has the green light to not only shoot but visit Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, whenever he wants. His coach will even pick up the tab.
Porter has been on an offensive roll since his quick trip to Mexico for a little rest and relaxation over the All-Star break.
The versatile Denver forward had another sensational shooting night on his way to 31 points, Nikola Jokic notched his 22nd triple-double of the season and the Nuggets held off the New York Knicks for a 113-100 win Thursday night.
Porter was 13 of 16 from the field — including a pass to himself off the glass for a dunk — and 2 of 2 from the free-throw line.
