6 years agoPortland Trail Blazers center Enes Kanter scored 10 of his 24 points in the opening frame, but it was not enough in the nine-point loss to the Denver Nuggets. Kantner was efficient from the floor when he connected on 12 of 17 shooting while gathering seven rebounds and adding four dimes in the battle in the middle with Nikola Jokic. Kanter has scored 20-plus points in four straight games and has picked up a double-double in three of those contests. With the Trail Blazers having a one-game lead over the Jazz for the fourth seed, we can assume they will keep rolling with their usual starters the rest of the way.--Gianni Costantiello
