Portland's Damian Lillard and Denver's Nikola Jokic meet again in what could be an epic finale. The winner takes on NBA defending champ Golden State.
CLOSE SportsPulse: The Nuggets face the Blazers and the Raptors take on the 76ers in a pair of decisive Game 7s. USA TODAY Sport's Jeff Zillgitt details the stars who must come through for their teams to advance. USA TODAY
It stings a little to realize one of these teams - so closely matched - will be done for the year after just 48 more minutes. Who emerges and takes their place against the two-time defending champion Golden State Warriors will need a few things to go right. Denver has occasionally done a great job in keeping him quiet and failed miserably to do so at others. Lillard has never played a Game 7 before, but we saw everything we needed to know about his love of the big moment with that series-winner against Oklahoma City.
Jokic and Jamal Murray have been the team’s hardest workers and top performers all season. Home court is a significant advantage, but the Nuggets will need this pair to fire to have a shot.
