As has been a constant after the severe injury of Canadian Jamal Murray (one of the team’s figures), the Cordovan was in the game along with Austin Rivers, Michael Porter Jr, Aaron Gordon, Nikola Jokic.
The former Real Madrid, with his classic quota of sacrifice and defensive intensity, signed a very good roster in the 30 minutes he was on the court: 12 points (2/4 in triples, 2/6 in doubles and 2/2 in free), 6 assists, 3 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block and 3 losses.
Despite his good numbers, the Argentine team strategist suffered at various times from the talent of Damian Lillard, star of the rival team and one of the best players in the entire league. Last year’s Bubble MVP shone with 42 points (9 of 16 in triples -5 against Facu-), 10 assists and 4 rebounds.
After 1-1, the series between the third and sixth of the Western Conference will move to the Moda Center. In that scenario they will see the faces next Thursday, from 23.30. Game 4 will be in the same stadium, but they will collide on Saturday from 5:00 p.m.
The winner of this crossing will be measured in the next round against the winner between the Phoenix Suns (1) and the Los Angeles Lakers of LeBron James.
