OG’s shot making aside some really good ball pressure on the defensive end and Barnes is doing a great job making Nurkic work – 10:16 PM
Casey Holdahl @CHold
Raptors make their first four shot, with three of those coming from behind the arc, to take a 13-3 lead after just under three minutes of play. – 10:16 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentress
Blazers start this game exactly the same way they began Sunday’s loss at Denver. Portland is down 13-3 not even three minutes into the game. UGLY. – 10:16 PM
Eric Koreen @ekoreen
Admirable job by Barnes dealing with Nurkic down low, and the Raptors are off to one of their best start of the year. – 10:15 PM

The Blazers are doing very elaborate starting lineups with pyrotechnics and individual songs for each player. This is not important but it’s noticeably more involved … and hey this is my stupid Twitter feed. – 10:10 PM

Cool Nuggets story:
On Nov. 13, 2016, Jamal Murray played in his 10th NBA game, came off the bench vs Portland, and had 19 points (5/9 from 3)
On Nov 14, 2021, Bones Hyland played in his 10th NBA game, came off the bench vs Portland, and had 18 points (4/8 from 3) – 7:53 PM
Brady Hawk @BradyHawk305
When Miami faced the Thunder in OKC last season, it was the last game of the road trip after previously losing to the Jazz, Clippers, and Warriors to begin the trip
All 3 tough losses at the end
Miami was also without Goran Dragic and Tyler Herro against OKC
Sounds familiar – 7:45 PM
