Michael Porter Jr. Scores Team-High 26 Points
4 years agoDenver Nuggets small forward Michael Porter Jr. led the team with 26 points in Friday's 118-97 loss to Golden State, shooting 8-for-18 from the field and 7-for-14 from downtown. Nikola Jokic had a rare quiet night with 19 points, six rebounds and six assists. Porter Jr. pulled down five rebounds and added two blocks to his line with one assist and one steal. The young forward has elevated his game this month to average close to 22 points per game. The stage is nicely set for him to have another good performance on Saturday against a struggling Rockets team that allowed Porter Jr. to notch 21 points in 31 minutes last week.
