Just amazing. Despite losing Rodney Hood, the Portland Trail Blazers mounted a 17-point comeback to take down the Denver Nuggets in Game 7 of the Western Conference Semifinals, 100-96 (Box Score).
Here are the basics from Denver.
- First-half disaster. The Blazers didn’t score for minutes at a time, while watching the Nuggets dance to the hoop. Portland was nearly doubled-up late in the first (29-15), and sat on 19 points three minutes. It was a small miracle that Portland was within 9 at halftime, even though it ended with Lillard missing another three-pointer.
