Despite finishing with 29 points, 12 rebounds and four blocks, Nuggets big man Nikola Jokic shouldered the blame for his team's Game 7 loss to the Trail Blazers, citing his missed shots down the stretch.

Denver's frontcourt duo did whatever they wanted to do against Portland's interior defense.

Jamal Murray posted his second straight 30-point game while Nikola Jokic recorded consecutive triple-doubles, becoming the first teammates to reach those feats in back-to-back playoff games since Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in 1980.

Blazers big man Enes Kanter was at the practice facility getting treatment on his shoulder, and Portland coach Terry Stotts said an elbow by Nikola Jokic to Kanter was "uncalled-for."
