The Denver Nuggets remain in the top flight of the Western Conference after a narrow win. Jamal Murray set the final point in the NBA duel in Portland.
With the 121:120 at the Portland Trail Blazers, Denver achieved their 15th win of the season. Only New Orleans, Phoenix and Memphis have one more win in the balanced West half of the league.
A three-pointer converted by Jamal Murray gave Denver the win with 0.9 seconds remaining. The match winner then commented calmly on his action: “I turned around and looked at the watch, saw that I didn’t need to hurry and just made my move.”
40 points from Damian Lillard
The last attack should actually be completed by Nikola Jokic, who once again towered over the Nuggets with 33 points, ten rebounds and nine assists.
In the end, Portland didn’t use 40 points from Damian Lillard, who put the hosts back in front with a three-pointer in the final stages.
