Nurkić in good form offensively, but Portland suffers another loss

(Patria) - The Portland Trail Blazers hosted one of the weakest teams in the NBA this season and suffered another loss. The Orlando Magic team was better with a score of 106-109. The key to Portland's loss lies again in the poor shooting of their perimeter players. The home team only made 6 three-pointers out of 35 attempts, while the visitors made 9 out of 24 attempts.

Our Jusuf Nurkić played well offensively, scoring 22 points (7/14 field goals, 1/4 three-pointers) and grabbing 10 rebounds, to which he added one assist, two blocks, and as many as four steals.

For the home team, Damian Lillard showed more than others with 30 points, 4 rebounds, and 5 assists, and one steal, and Jerami Grant with 16 points, 6 rebounds, one assist, and three blocks.

For the visitors, German basketball player Franz Wagner was excellent with 29 points, 2 rebounds, two assists, and two steals. Wendell Carter Jr. recorded 20 points, 10 rebounds, three assists, and one block.

The Portland team thus recorded their fourth consecutive loss, or eighth in the last ten games, bringing their record to 19 wins and 21 losses. The young Orlando team has collected 16 wins and 26 losses.
