Portland Trail Blazers guard Norman Powell missed a baseline floater over Nikola Jokic as time expired, resulting in a 106-105 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night at the Moda Center.
Powell’s shot hit the other side of the rim, missing by inches, and sending the sixth-place Blazers to 1-10 against teams ahead of them in the Western Conference standings. Fourth-place Denver is now 2-0 this season against the Blazers.

The All-Star three-point contest was on the line when Golden State’s Stephen Curry, considered by many the best three-point shooter in NBA history, picked up his last ball from a rack in the corner.
Curry gripped the red, white and blue “moneyball,” needing it to go in to beat Utah’s Mike Conley, who was on the sideline hugging Jazz teammate Donovan Mitchell in anticipation.
As the ball floated through the air, Curry kept his right arm extended, his eyes glued on the flight of the ball as it settled through the net for the title.
Curry kept his hand in the air a little longer, did a pirouette and smiled, his 28 points one better than Conley.
