PORTLAND -- After stealing away home court advantage by winning Game 1 in Denver, the Trail Blazers gave it right back by losing 120-115 to the Nuggets in Game 3 Thursday night in front of a sellout crowd of 8,050 at the Moda Center.
“I was proud of how we competed,” said Damian Lillard. “I thought we kept fighting, we stayed together, we gave ourselves a chance to win the game. It’s the playoffs, you know it’s going to be a grind it out type of process. It’s going to be a long series, we got one on their floor and they came back and got it back.
