McCollum leads Blazers past cold Nuggets to even series:
NBA: Trail Blazers 97, Nuggets 90Damian Lillard
" Jokic and Millsap were just playing volleyball with it. They're both excellent offensive rebounders. They're a top-three offensive rebounding team anyway and we've got to make sure they don't have those opportunities in Game 3." With Jokic taking — and missing — just one shot in the first quarter and scoring six points in the first half, the Nuggets trailed 50-35 at halftime after the franchise's worst quarter ever at home in the playoffs, one in which they made just 5 of 23 shots and missed all 10 of their 3-pointers.
