Austin Rivers drained a step-back jumper over CJ McCollum, three of his 16 fourth-quarter points that helped the Nuggets withstand a comeback from the Portland Trail Blazers and pull out a 120-115 victory in Portland on Thursday. With the win, the Nuggets took a 2-1 series lead and regained home-court advantage in their first round series.
