Jusuf Nurkic Shines With Double-Double, Four Blocks
4 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Jusuf Nurkic needed only 21 minutes of action to put together a good line against Cleveland on Wednesday, finishing a 141-105 win with 15 points, 11 rebounds, four blocks and three assists. He made his only three-point attempt and went 6-for-10 overall from the field. Backup center Enes Kanter also had a productive game with 18 points and 13 boards. Nurkic now has six double-doubles in eight games despite playing fewer than 30 minutes in each outing. He'll be battling Andre Drummond and the Lakers next. A Drummond-less Lakers team gave up an easy double-double to Nurkic earlier in the campaign, and the Bosnian might find it harder to reach the numbers this time around.
