The final whistle sounded, and the Nuggets players joyfully embraced each other, while the Blazers players walked dejectedly off the court.
In this game, Zeng Xingyang scored 30 points, 16 assists, 4 rebounds; Jokic had 22 points, 10 rebounds, 7 assists; Butler added 14 points, 8 assists; Gordon had 12 points, 5 rebounds.
Zeng Xingyang and Jokic's stats might not look spectacular mainly because they once again clocked out after three quarters. In such a short time, it's hard to rack up impressive numbers.
The reason the Nuggets won so easily is that the whole team maintained a high intensity on the court throughout the game.
From the start of the game, Zeng Xingyang and Jokic exploded, leading the team to an advantage.
Then, when the second lineup came in, they continued to maintain the same explosive offensive efficiency, and on defense, they virtually surrounded Lillard and McCollum from start to finish.
