Michael Porter Jr.

Michael Porter Jr. stayed ready and finished what his teammates started. When Jamal Murray had to scramble deep into the backcourt to recover a loose ball and only had time to fire a halfcourt heave, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope hustled to collect the offensive board and got the ball back in Murray’s hands. Instead of firing again, Murray slung a pass to the wing where Porter Jr. was waiting to fire one of his four made 3-pointers. Porter Jr. shot 12 of 18 for 29 points and grabbed 11 rebounds in the Denver Nuggets’ 134-124 overtime victory over the LA Clippers on February 26, 2023 to secure a four-game regular season sweep.
