Lillard tied his franchise record with 11 3-pointers and scored 45 points, and the Portland Trail Blazers moved closer to the No. 8 spot in the Western Conference. He is the second player to have multiple games with at least 10 3-pointers this season Porter had 10 first-quarter points, giving him three consecutive games of at least that many in the opening period in the bubble — all in a span of four days. He didn’t have more than seven points in any of his other 38 first-quarter appearances this season.

Michael Porter Jr. scored 27 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for Denver (45-24), which remained in the West’s No. 3 spot. The Nuggets played most of the fourth quarter with reserves on the floor, limiting Nikola Jokic to 24 minutes.
