Jusuf Nurkic finished with an ever-so-evasive triple-double for the first time in his career tonight, adding 5 blocks, to help the Portland Trail Blazers defeat the Cleveland Caviliers by a score of 129-112. Damian Lillard scored 33 for the Blazers. Nurkic and Lillard looked to be done for the game after the third quarter with Portland up by 19, but the Cavs made a comeback, forcing the starters back in the game and allowing Nurkic to hit his milestone.
Dame On
Early on, all eyes were on Damian Lillard and his strained right hand.
