Porter watched, engaged from the bench, not bemoaning the fact that he wasn’t on the floor but rather celebrating his teammates.
SAN ANTONIO – Michael Porter Jr.’s plaid bucket hat and shorts, paired with a bright red polo, lit up the visiting locker room here late Monday night.
Over the final 5:30, it was Jamal Murray, Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Bruce Brown who were responsible for stifling San Antonio’s offense. In crunch time, Denver outscored San Antonio 13-6 to close the game. Murray whipped up a couple of special assists, while Denver’s thieves accounted for three steals and forced five turnovers to snuff out the Spurs.
Porter’s growth in that regard is stark. He couldn’t help but smile, just a bit, when declaring his opinion that the Nuggets would’ve still prevailed with him on the floor, but the fact that he didn’t dwell on it was enormous. Even on a night when he had it going in the form of 24 points on 4-of-8 from the 3-point line and his synergy with Jokic peaking, there was no hint of objection to Nuggets coach Michael Malone’s decision.
