Jusuf Nurkić played another excellent game

PORTLAND, (Patria) - Portland routinely achieved another victory, New Orleans was defeated in the Moda Center, 128:112, with another great performance by Jusuf Nurkić.

It can be said that the Trail Blazers surprisingly easily achieved a triumph against a team that eliminated them with a smooth 4-0 in last season's playoffs.

For most of the game, they had more than a decent lead and recorded a triumph without major difficulties, which solidified their fourth position in the West.

Nurkić recorded another double-double, scoring 15 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and 2 blocks in 26 minutes of play.

The most effective players for the Blazers were Damian Lillard (24 points), CJ McCollum, and Jake Layman (20 each), while only Anthony Davis (27 points, 7 rebounds) and Jrue Holiday (20 points, 6 assists) deserved a passing grade among the defeated.
