Millsap, Jokic spark Nuggets' blowout of Blazers:
Nikola Jokic , The Canadian Pressinjected some experience into a series dominated by youth, sparking the Nuggets' 124-98 blowout of the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday night that gave Denver a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
"Thirteen-year vet, a lot of games under his belt and he is stepping up when he need him to step up," Denver coach Michael Malone said."I think the best thing about: He's true to himself; he never tries to be something he's not. And he's not a rah-rah guy. He's not a guy that's going to be screaming and yelling.
Coming off a resounding Game 4 win that followed that epic quadruple-overtime loss, the Nuggets were focused and efficient just as Malone promised when he said Denver wouldn't dare let up and exhale at home after reclaiming the home-court advantage. "When kids go to school, they should be going to school to learn, have fun, be with their friends, not worried about an active shooter," Malone lamented during a heartfelt pre-game news conference .
