The Denver Nuggets have grown quite accustomed to playing seven game series. But for once they didn't need to go the distance, instead closing out the Portland Trail Blazers in six with a 126-115 win on Thursday.
"I love our team. I love every player in that locker room, one through seventeen," Nuggets coach Michael Malone said. "We continue to find ways to win.
