Michael Porter Jr. blames himself for Nuggets' playoff loss to Timberwolves: “This was a terrible series”

In the NBA arguably more than any other American sports league, the playoffs have a tendency to consume any relevant regular-season context about a team or an individual. It's working to Michael Porter Jr.'s disadvantage this time. Porter chose to wear the blame Sunday night for Denver's early exit from the playoffs after Game 7 against the Timberwolves. “This was a terrible series,” Porter said after shooting 3 for 12 in a 98-90 Game 7 loss.
