The Nuggets handed the Trail Blazers their biggest loss of the 2019 NBA Playoffs with a 124-98 drubbing in Game 5. A tightly contested first quarter quickly gave way to a double-digit margin at halftime and Denver never looked back from there. Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Paul Millsap combined for 67 points in the lopsided win. For the Blazers, Lillard’s 22 points couldn’t hold a candle to the Nuggets’ explosive attack. It was a truly forgettable performance from Portland in a series that has produced a handful of memorable finishes.
