This is a playoff series that many believe could go all the way to Game 7. Despite Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum combining for almost 60 points, the Trail Blazers were unable to make up much ground in the second half, as they tied the Nuggets in both third and fourth quarter point totals.
In the NBA Playoffs, teams often need to rely on unexpected role players to step up to win games. Austin Rivers provided 21 points on five three-point shots for the Nuggets. Rivers’ contribution in Game 3 is not something the Nuggets can expect consistently, but sometimes the “surprise” performances from role players can shift and entire series.
