Despite playing with a left shoulder injury, Enes Kanter delivered a solid performance in Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals series. He finished with 15 points, nine boards, a pair of steals, two blocks and one dime helping the Portland Trail Blazers defeat the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center. The best-of-seven series is now tied, 1-1.
“We gotta treat every game like it’s Game 7, especially on the road” he said to Brooke Olzendam after the contest and added: “I think we started the game very physical and that we set the tone early, that was the key. We know we have enough talent to score the ball, but the key was defense. We did a pretty good job.”
