The Portland Trail Blazers (6 - 3) defeated the Denver Nuggets (1 - 6) 130 - 113 on Wednesday at the Pepsi Center in Denver. The Blazers were scorching hot from the beginning of this game, torching the Nuggets for 84 points in the first half. They shot 51 percent from the field and 49 percent from behind the three - point line, to give them a season - high scoring total of 130 points. Despite out - rebounding the Trail Blazers and having less turnovers, the Nuggets just could n't keep the Blazers from scoring at will. This was the second matchup this week between the two teams. After LaMarcus Aldridge and Wesley Matthews did most of the damage on Sunday, it was Damian Lillard and Robin Lopez who led the charge Wednesday. Lillard finished the game with 27 points and nine assists. He shot 10 - for - 16 from the field and 5 - for - 6 from beyond the arc. Lopez contributed 19 points of his own (8 - 11 FG, 3 - 3 FT), while also adding five rebounds. The Blazers had plenty of help off the bench with Chris Kaman and C.J. McCollum combining for 31 points on 10 - for - 15 shooting from the floor. This was Kaman's third game in a row scoring double figures off the bench. Taking Nicolas Batum's spot in the starting lineup, the inexperienced Allen Crabbe totaled seven points in 17 minutes. The Nuggets were led by Ty Lawson, who scored 32 points (11 - 17 FG, 4 - 5 3Pt, 6 - 7 FT), while dishing out six assists. The 32 points was a season - high for Lawson. J.J. Hickson continued to receive minutes in his second game of the season after returning from suspension. He posted his first double - double of the year, going for 14 points and 11 rebounds in 21 minutes. Kenneth Faried had a relatively quiet game as he only scored 10 points and pulled in four rebounds. Faried is now averaging 12 points and 9 rebounds on the season. The Blazers' next game will be at home against the Brooklyn Nets on Saturday, while the Nuggets will travel to Indiana to play the Pacers on Friday.
