Nurkic' and Mo Harkless made huge plays!

He picked up his fifth foul with about nine minutes to go, just as Portland was beginning to click. Coach Stotts left him in, and he played until the issue was decided, got into Embiid's head, and was instrumental at both ends of the floor.

Portland is baffling this year. They play very well on the road, but they can't play dead at home. I'm hoping this game gives them some momentum for Lillard's return.
