Owner Real Deal Posted December 21, 2012 Author Owner Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 http://sports.cbsimg.net/u/photos/basketball/nba/img21431617.jpg PORTLAND, Ore. -- The Trail Blazers weren't going to try anything out of the ordinary against the Nuggets, especially with injured All-Star forward LaMarcus Aldridge watching from the bench in street clothes. The idea, explained forward J.J. Hickson, was for everyone to do "just a little bit more." Everyone did, and Portland beat the Nuggets 101-93 on Thursday night for the Blazers' first four-game winning streak of the season. Nicolas Batum had 22 points and Hickson had 18 points and 18 rebounds for his sixth-straight double-double. It was an odd loss for the Nuggets, who missed 22 3-pointers, breaking the NBA record for most attempts without a make - a mark that was set a week ago when the Blazers went 0 for 20 from 3-point range in a victory over Toronto. Denver scored 74 points from inside the paint, and the rest were free throws except for Ty Lawson's 20-foot pull-up jumper with 38 seconds left in the game. "The rhythm of the game was not in our favor, and our guys seemed to be worn out a little bit," Nuggets coach George Karl said. "If you make two 3s it's a different basketball game - a totally different game. It's not time to panic or anything. We just didn't have enough shooters out there." The Blazers led by as many as 18 in the first half and while the Nuggets were able to close the gap, they were never able to pull even. Andre Miller's fade-away for Denver narrowed Portland's lead to 84-81 with 4:06 left. Batum made a trio of free throws before Miller added a layup to make it 87-83. But Luke Babbitt hit a 3-pointer with 2:31 left to give the Blazers back a 92-83 lead. Wesley Matthews all but sealed it when his 3-pointer a short time later put the Blazers ahead 97-87 with 1:31 left.http://www.cbssports.com/nba/gametracker/recap/NBA_20121220_DEN@POR The bold is what I laughed at. How crazy is that? At least Portland won this game, though. Toronto lost the game that Portland shot 0-20 3PT in...lol (sorry for the painful memory, Raps fans).

Sħãlïq™ Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 Denver scored 17 points on made foul shots tonight. They also scored 74 points in the paint. That totals 91 points. The Nuggets only scored 93 for the game. That's right, they made one jumper all night. Count it...one. Ty Lawson made a jumper from the top of the key with 38 seconds remaining in the game to spoil their 0-fer night. Still, 2 points scored outside the paint in a game is a new NBA record. So is the 0-22 three-point performance the Nuggets put up tonight.Blazers Win Weirdest Game in Franchise History Wow! One jumper all night?!! Somebody call Guinness...
