Although the Portland Trail Blazers ultimately dropped the game to the Memphis Grizzlies, big man Jusuf Nurkic brought a dominant performance on offense to the floor, even with a minutes restriction in place. According to Jamie Hudson of NBC Sports Northwest, Coach Terry Stotts acknowledged Nurkic’s contributions.
“It was his best game of the season, that’s obvious. Probably the best thing was, offensively, he finished around the basket. It was one of his better finishing nights.”
As for Nurkic, he felt that he could have done more, especially on defense.
