PORTLAND, ORE.—They had just clinched a playoff spot, though there were no cheers or celebrations from the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland Trail Blazers centre Jusuf Nurkic goes down after being hit in the face as the Blazers beat the Brooklyn Nets in double-overtime, 148-144 in Portland on Monday. Nurkic had 32 points and 16 rebounds before suffering his left leg injury in the second overtime, and the Blazers outlasted the Brooklyn Nets 148-144. After the injury, Blazers made enough plays to get the win, but then reality hit. TIP-INS Nets: Brooklyn had its two-game winning streak snapped and has one game left on its seven-game road trip, at Philadelphia on Thursday.
